For those of us who took
Life of Law as passion
It is difficult to queue up
For Justice as a ration …
No doubt right to be heard
Is available to those who seek
Provided however that
It is exercised just twice a week
Now everything's on video
With all images resized
After you enter the precincts
Duly masked and sanitized
The judges on screen are puisne
The Lady of Justice is blind
But this a welcome excursion
So you really do not mind …
The raw energy of a Court
It's sweat and toil is missing
And if your "link" gets lost
It's the screen that starts hissing!
So you hope for good old days
With ushers hollering 'Silence'
While you duel for your clients
With some forensic violence!
