    State Rested
    Justifying,
    on that day,
    witness testifying,
    but clearly hearsay,
    motions filed,
    denied,
    Prosecutors running late,
    chamber filled with a heated debate,
    he objects,
    court rejects,
    she detects,
    no one is perfect,
    courtroom filled,
    deputies by the door,
    motions on the floor,
    declined a cross-examination,
    frustration
    builds in our court-system,
    tempers tested,
    the State rested.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
