Conscience Pricks

We’re not infallible but final

Decide without favour or fear

Now socially well distanced

We decide whom to hear

 

In our new world virtual

So far we are from the actual

That we must rely on counsel

To give us all material factual

 

And who better to assist us

Than Officers of the Law?

Who shall truthfully tell us

Everything that no one saw

 

No one should go hungry

No one should have to pay

We will arrange everything

After we get everyone’s say

 

We wont allow interventions

They’re not particularly cute

Persistent lawyers please note

You’ve all been put on mute

 

This is not for the media

This is not for playing politics

This is for judicial conscience

That sometimes still pricks!
