All Rise

Today's the day
We sit in court.
I hope you've learned
To be a sport.

Passing judgement's
Not so easy.
Tends to leave
The stomach queasy.

Let's get on
With what's to come.
Verdicts leave me
Spent and numb.

So here I am
Before you now,
With little know
And less of how.

Please forgive me.
It's not my place
To wipe that smile
From off your face.

Perhaps you should have
Thought it through,
When changing lives
You never knew.

Now it's my turn,
I'm afraid,
To make damn sure
Your bed's been made.
