JUDGEMENT



JUDGEMENT

“Silence please!
Everyone will now stand up!”

Case no. 13: Judge Vs I.
“Prosecution may proceed.”

“Mr. I you’re accused of
Being dramatic, which you are.
Your anger is unjustified.
You have no right to feel sour.

“You’re unworthy of your acclaim.
Your conspiracies go amiss.
The jury declares you guilty.
And the court is dismissed.”

Lips parted and closed, wordlessly.
I stood aghast in unceasing doubt.
“Without a valid proof or argument
How could the judgement come out”?

“No accused pleads guilty.”
The judge scorned and sniggered.
“There are anonymous sources,
Whose reporting we have considered.”

That’s how ridiculously absurd
The sophisticated tattletale sounds.
When the jobless forces join in
To play a game of hare and hounds.

In the courtroom named society,
Hostile assessments are made every day.
Everybody’s character is judged
Based on what appearances convey.

To cover their underachievement
And a courage of size: spoonful,
The spineless gossipers go miles
And tear down the successful.

Feeding the poor is publicity
Expressing opinions, undemocratic.
Feeling wronged is overthinking
Standing up for right, dramatic.

All these fingers pointing at you
Will soon make you question yourself.
Through no fault of your own
Their insecurities will transfer to oneself.

Should I walk out of this courtroom,
Or should I get other people tried?
Because everyone is I,
It’s a choice you get to decide.
