On The Supreme Court

On the Supreme Court
Nine black robes of justice
Seated as Council
By Congressional ruling.
By their just proclamation.

On the Supreme Court
Nine black robes of justice.
Just this…required,
Without causing injury…
And by jury of their peers.

On the Supreme Court
Nine black robes dispense justice
On The Peoples Court.
To represent pure justice…
Of, for, and by The People.

On the Supreme Court
Justice needs to be supreme.
Free from politics.
A nonpartisan effort.
It often fails supremely.

On the Supreme Court
Nine black robes dispense justice.
Sometimes suspend it.
Keeping us all in suspense
That Truth May be held suspect.

On the Supreme Court
Nine black robes dispense justice.
Dispense prescriptions
That either heal or poison…
A checkered courtly record.

On the Supreme Court
Justice is robed in clothing.
Adorned in black robes…
Masking its inner whiteness.
Though masked, by time, still revealed.

On the Supreme Court
Nine black robes dispense justice.
Sometimes injustice.
Emperors with black robing,
Covering up Naked Truth.

On the Supreme Court
Nine black robes of justice.
Just this —required…
Without causing injury
And with jury of their peers.

On the Supreme Court
Nine black robes of justice.
Just that —required…
History serves as a witness
Just that —requires wisdom.

On the Supreme Court
Wisdom has her own vestments.
Neither black nor white.
She is robed with true justice
As servant of her nation.

On the Supreme Court
Nine black robes of justice
Need to Court Wisdom.
Her vestments are The People.
She serves them first and foremost.
