“Law Defined”




Lifeless stream of inks buried in Books
Alive in the courts by Judges’ breath
Living like spirits with hard looks
Hovering a Nation’s length and breadth

A strong sword with great scabbard
Sometimes bent and blunt by the rich
Leaving the poor with placards
Craving for justice beyond reach

A brave Entity sometimes flawed
And made weak in the eyes of the weak
By the bombs of masked overlords
Having overriding technique

An Ass to many with heavy hearts 
Whose lives have been torn apart
