Lawyers are easy targets
For ridicule and jokes
(I know, I’ve told them,
And basked in the laughter)
Until you know one
Like my brother-in-law, Bob
The family calls him “a good one.”
A rare commodity to some
And words of reluctant
Acceptance for others
He does not help matters by
Doing that criminal defense stuff
When I read a story or watch the news
Seeing the carnage of another
Mad man (or should I say person)
Then Bob tells me the story
And I’m conflicted, wondering
What is truth and justice?
When humans play god.
Easy targets, indeed, Jim. I'm glad yours is making you think. I also have one named Bob and fully believe we need more like him.
