Judges: Just and Otherwise

One judge finds me guilty
And sentences me to ten years
And a whole lot of restitution money;
Another judge reverses the case
And I go back to court.
An Alford plea gets me six
(Over a guilty plea for five).
Satisfied, I do my  time on the six
Only later to find that restitution
Was omitted in the legal shuffling,
And I am free from the unconscionable
Duty to pay money to baby-killers
For the destruction of their death camps.
Praise God for just judges!
And may He damn those who do evil,
And deliver us from their grasp
Upon our nation and its laws.
