Serenity !

Serenity !

There is always a peace somewhere;
we can find it; when we try;

Retiring From The Bench

Retiring From The Bench

I’ve spent a lifetime judging others;
I couldn’t allow them to escape;
banging my gavel on sisters and brothers;
I was Superman, without the cape.

I didn’t actually preside in a court;
