Public Opinion Be Damned

Public opinion, the current 
Carries the wave of judgment 
Due protection and process 
Denies in a court of law

People in general, view
What they want to see
While spouting their advice 
But give no back for stripes

Popular notions run in crowds
With strong beliefs
While silent mistakes
Settle in unending tears

Similar works best with twins
And bends with their choices
For conviction is the breed 
No heart can live without 

The open view has its place 
As does clouds on bad days
Grey or dark its sweetness 
When gardening cries

General sentiment mocks
All who would be brave
Until sentiment sits on fear
Public opinion be damned
