    Hello Mr. Lawyer Man, sir
    Black suit and slicked back hair
    Spitting out blind laws with a forked tongue
    which, in your most humble opinion, will be fair to everyone involved
    I laugh at the printed letters
    What of the daughter and the son
    who lament the days they spend with the father
    and the crying mother left alone?
    No justice exists in these laws
    An ignorant government once again tramples upon peace
    leaving behind the carcasses of dead trees
    pounded neatly into thin rectangles
    that depict the new lives of two absent children
    Sir Lennon can you imagine
    the harmony that has gone?
    A contract was signed without thinking that they belonged
    Until they reach the golden age their opinions are for the adults to decide
    Is it wrong or right?
    because Mr. Lawyer Man I've struggled with it all night
