Hey BP!

I'm loving the accusatory tone of your
last few poems... it is so much easier
to be spiteful and full of righteous
fury, then it is to simply let things
slide and turn the other cheek.

It's always nice have that wagon full
of stones, ready to cast them at the
slightest provocation, aint it? LOL

    It's not so logical that you should
    be throwing them, eh? That's why
    I find it so amusing. :)

    Well I'll tell you what Z if someones to throw stones despite how good their aim may be they better make sure it's bigger than the one thats going to come in their direction...

    ...I was never one for throwing stones but I do believe in self defence I attained my yellow belt when I was about 16...I even won a competition but the Karate club was disbanded and I never took it up again...

    ...The fourth Dan black belt that taught us was an absolute headcase but he knew what he was doing otherwise we'd all have been dead by now...

    LOL B! I'll take your word for it...
    I like your new style... you're
    branching out creatively... that's
    always a good sign.

    Peace! Z

I found myself thinking about this quite a bit. I work in law enforcement and deal with judges of many types. The official ones and the ones in all mankind. Your piece looks at the corrupt judge, the man who feeds his own ego and place with arrogant rule. There is nothing worse in my mind than absolute power that has no scruples or conscience. However, I have found those who are able to wield it. Your piece is deeper than that. Well written and sculpted verbally.

For me judge is about being judgmental about people and situations. It is about being in power to condemn others.

Your words condemn and judge the judge himself which is very intriguing.

Cheers

Wow! Fantastic piece of work with this vision of calculating evil that is only going to be absorbed and utterly destroyed within himself. I feel like I am reading a piece of Antiquity. Very intelligent with a very strong tone to it. Holly
