Courtroom | ||
| The black-robed judge with silver hair Calls name on name to face the bench. He asks each one with patient stare To state a plea and be a mensch. The docket is so large it creaks But many people don't appear. The sun comes in with brilliant streaks And some defendants quake with fear. Though many face a sentence stiff They turn away from legal aid. They need not jump a nearby cliff If they have not their guilt betrayed. | ||
