The Hearing



The Hearing

The Bench of Judges
sat on this case
To adjudicate the
Case of the
Silencing of Poets
A collection of authors
which the defence
claims is simply a
collaboration of conspirators

Defence Council
David Comp argued
This oppression of
liberals is insiduous
exploiting apathy,
and conservativism
that lies beneath a
scratched veneer

Outside The Court
gathered a
journal of reporters
The shutter of cameras
reminding me of
a deportment of Models
on The Catwalks
