Law

I saw our masters
Sat to dine,
Bloated on liberty,
Yours and mine

I asked,
Is there no portion
For the poor?

They answered,
Surely
And belched up
The Law.

Tales Of The Riverbank, Part 2

Today was the day of Mr. H's unlawful lodging trial. Apparently, the prosecutor was under the impression that Mr. H had busted through a fence and ignored numerous "No Trespassing" signs.

Until he saw the pictures I took during a little excursion to the locus in quo a couple of weeks ago.

Case dismissed on the People's motion.
