Poem 40 Jury Duty
Channel: Bunny Warren
Date: 2023-05-29

During the Covid Pandemic, after first wave, I was called to jury duty... part of my civic responsibility. 
Two challenging weeks for many reasons!

41. Jury Duty – 15.8.21

Twelve of the good
A jury to make
A case to decide
Fourteen years… far too late

We listen for days
Both victim and charged
The defence very good
Prosecution… time purged

The Judge says be sure
Purged time means just tales
From both of the sides
No facts… so unsure

Deliberation two days
Both angst and some tears
As the case is so old
Not guilty say peers!

This case and the time
A jury denied
The chance to be sure
Someone… has lied!
