Advocate for Life
So, you want to be a Lawyer?
Have you considered the time
Penalty on your short life,
This career path will wind on you?
The stigma of sounding Victorian, too formal, well-read
In a world of trimmed headlines and shallow trending topics.
Rejection from prospective lovers
Who caught word of attorneys being too loud
Too confident, argumentative, self-righteous and
Reeking of old books and certifications.
The weight on your conscience when law-breakers
In parliament assent senseless lows
Damning generations for their own benefit
Soaking in the murk of un-honored legal fees
Bounced cheques and unchecked e-mails
Cleaning the venom stains on your plaintiff’s hand-me-downs
Robbed of everything they have to their name; Nothing

Denied fair proceedings lest they extend generous proceeds
Wrestling with your heart that yearns to heal society Pro bono
Knocked out by the cerebral reminder; it is a Landlord’s world.
Sleepless fights with cases and orals
Bridges burnt by morals
Bonds built in the chamber
Secrets and deals cut, out of court
Illegal grounds manned by swine
Sound admonition to corporate pigs
Deaf ears on daft skulls
Battling addiction and divorce
Reading minds filled with perjury
Discontented with the snubs of Magistrates
Defeated by the stare-down of loss
Trials littered with blood banks
Karma threats from anchovies
Fatuous questions inspired by Hollywood law
Family pride on socials
Learned friends behind masks
