To my brother lawyer, The law is law, the law is law And the law is law. Technicalities are the law Technical justice is the law Mechanical justice is the law. A constitutional enablement That robs Peter to pay Paul is still the law. To the reasonable man, The law is not law that is not just. Societal morals, mores and norms And cultural universals That stand at par with logic are the law. Generally accepted ethos is the law Equitable justice is the law Substantial justice is the law. A constitutional enablement That robs Peter to pay Paul can’t be the law. A lawyer is his lawyerliness Sees justice according to law’s enablement. A reasonable man in his sensibleness Sees justice according to the firmament. Law as it is, That is my brother lawyer. Law as it ought to be, That is the reasonable man. The reasonable man In the eye of the law is lay— he is lay. But in his so-called laity he has demonstrated A good sense of judgment, Not like my brother lawyer whose reasoning Is boxed into the four walls of law. –-Bolaji Ramos, Esq. 09/02/2018 Copyrighted]]>
