Judicial Review

This is the poem I posted on fb 22/04/13


#80 Judicial Review

Judicial review
It all needs to be changed
From the stop and search
To the death row lane

The system is corrupt
Yet it can’t be stopped
Too many years of us supporting this stuff
Middle classes running a muck

With four chambers
Cosy meals
By the time you get to court
They have already done their deals

It’s a performance
In their wigs and gowns
We are just the props
They are the clowns

If it’s a civil matter
You will meet the Lay Magistrates
They will send you down
This is the Authoritative Police’s playground

Crown Court cases can be tried
If you get caught out
You will be doing time
The Jury of twelve are not your friends

They have knowledge of your case
They will not understand or defend
Jury service is a selection process
The least experienced get the most

This system has been in place
Does n’t make it right
If you oppose it
Get ready for a fight

Who benefits
Not you or I
We will be at the mercy of the courts
Till the  end of time
