In testing times for all lawyers
Everyone was wondering why
Nothing had been forthcoming
From their powerful body,the BCI?
It is not as if it was lying idle
It has always been in the news
But mostly for the wrong reasons
Involving clash of egos and views
If cognizance of their problems
By their Bar Councils is not taken
Advocates all across the country
Feel utterly forlorn and forsaken
After two months of court closure
Bar Council has finally spoken
One hopes it’s grievances are met
With responses not merely token
It expects every court to function
Without COVID fear and any favour
So that seniors and juniors alike
The benefits of practice can savour
Perhaps for the first time in history
It has ignited a welcome spark
By speaking not just for the juniors
But also for the suffering court clerk!
In every progressive social change
Lawyers have been active at the front
In times of such unprecedented crisis
Only a united Bar can bear the brunt!
By making all liquor shops operational
The Powers garnered praise and cheer
But rendering the real Bar inoperational
Has made semblance of law disappear …
