(Clerk:)
"ALL RISE!"
"It's the People VS. Life Your Honor,
arrested for assault-
remanded into custody
for warrants that default..."
(Defense:)
"May way approach the bench..
It's a falsely grounded charge!
The peolple who condemn us
are the criminals at large.."
(Judge:)
"Now you'll both have time to say your peace
and show your evidence,
and just to make it plausible,
I'll set some precedents:
Spirit of the jury,
you will ponder every piece...
you will search in every hollow,
every crack and every crease.
Judge them not with apathy,
for that I must rescind...
with that in mind,
I now allow the trial to begin...
Attorney of the district,
call your witness to the stand"
(D.A.:)
"I call on Life your honor!"
(Judge:)
"Approach the bench and raise your hand..."
(Clerk:)
"Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but,
so help you God?"
(Life:)
"I do..
but in the end it is the People
that will fraud."
(D.A.:)
"Life, you always represent
yourself as innocent and kind,
promising the People
that your happiness they'll find...
but isn't it the truth
that people find not what you say?
Instead, they find a place
that is empty and astray?"
(Life:)
"I'm not a destination,
but a journey they can take,
and through it all
it has to do with
choices that they make.
So if they chose to travel me
in anguish and in pain,
then they're the ones accountable
and I am not to blame."
(Judge:)
"I need'nt hear another word...
I think we all have learned
that Life is what you make of it.
This Court will stand adjourned!
M.O.H.

This is splendid. I have always said we have free will. If you don't like your life, then change it. Our happiness is totally up to us.
Splendid write.

I was drawn here on the advice of someone quite dear . . .
(to us both! lol)
And wow, I am glad for the advice. What an exquisite piece of
insight, dear Billy. Clever and expertly written and the message
is loud and clear. Not to mention perfect in it's telling.
I know I have told you this to the point of exhaustion, but
your talent is as boundless as is my admiration for you.
Respectable and most enjoyable write this was.
