Unlawful Mockery

there's no minimum age requirement for

getting traumatized

so why are drugs, booze, and

sex off limits till you're 18

does becoming an "adult"

make us the ones in control

to decide that children are the guilty

for seeking truth and we are innocent

hence, plead earnestly for mercy.

(get it?)

ring the bells for case number x

open the doors of justice

let the mourners arrive and be seated

rise, the presiding judge has come

order, order, order harks the righteous fellow

beating the gavel upon hard wooden facts

defendants and prosecutors and the jury

buttering him up with "Your Honour..."

(the law is blind)

yes, yes, we shall hang this sultry woman

for refusing to have sex with

an upright gentleman of class

absolutely her fault for getting cozy with him

wearing a provocative dress

drinking beer and dancing under the disco lights

raising his bestial expectations

so I beseech this court, Your Honour

how is it justified she resist his advances

and put him in the hospital? I scream murder,

Your Honour!

no, no, she screamed no

it means no

consent is a very grey area

how could she have fought him off

other than bashing his skull with a vase

beside the bedside table?

I bark attempt to rape and self defense,

Your Honour!

order, order, order!

this court and jury have arrived at a decision

the man is not guilty and acquitted of all crimes

the woman is found guilty of attempt to murder

and sentenced to six months at a state penitentiary.

case closed

justice has been served

the court is adjourned!
