2002 Poetry Twelve strangers together to judge
None of them coming in with a grudge
In fact, impartial they must continue to be
The truth they are there to be able to see
Listening to testimony with truths and lies
From people right in front of their eyes
Performing their duty deciphering the facts
It will be a while before they can relax
Day-after-day they sit in their box
Listening to some that are sly as a fox
Attempting to hide the truth from their sight
Their job is to separate wrong from the right
Responsible for the outcome no matter what
Sometimes the best tool they have is their gut
Doing this job they have only one shot
Deciding if someone is guilty or not
