Judge by R Soos

on stage above us all
with a gavel ready to pound
a presence among mortals
pronouncing powerful acts
of justice in service to the state

I sit below asking myself
if the victims of your swagger
include your wife and children
or is your spirit more humble
acting in service to the Lord

r soos is one of those old poets who hasn’t learned better, and intends not to. He blogs several times a week at http://rsoos.com . His books are available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. His life has the same aches and pains as all the other old folks he knows.
