poetry
In quiet chambers where the gavel sighs,
The law unfolds—its words a measured tide,
Each clause a thread in justice’ woven ties,
Where truth and reason stand side by side.
From barrister’s robe to solicitor’s pen,
They parse the statutes, old and ever new,
With care they weigh each claim of women, men,
And balance rights in hues of sober hue.
The courtroom hums—a hymn of order, restraint,
Where precedent provides the steady beat,
Yet equity may bend, compassionaint,
To soften strictness where the hearts may meet.
So here we find the law’s enduring art:
A living script, both shield and guiding heart.
