Lawyers

By Judith Trustone

Lining their pockets on the 
Tragedies of the poor, 
The hurt people who hurt others, 
The Thrownaway People existing 
off the radar in the nightmare of 
Shadow America while those 
who are supposed to defend them drive around 
in Beemers and Mercedes, grabbing all they can 
​of the American Dream
