The Hopeless Case

The Judge slams down his gavel
The lesson was never learned,
Quietly the Bailiff stands
No respect was ever earned

The ruling that day went badly 
The Judge’s order is askew,
Your lawyer bows his head
He lost your case and now his too

The empty Courtroom it is cold
As the Judge leaves his bench,
Carrying all the papers of your case
Along with a putrid stench

Where has all the money gone 
Paid in retainers and fees,
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Your life savings now is seized

The next hearing the next trial
What do you expect,
To see nothing good come of this 
Corruption you easily detect

Never will there be a win
The goal was never set,
Slowly standing up to argue
An agreement will never be met
