Trial

 Ilona Hegedus

 

Rightful or unjust?

It's the place of claims

and pleas and lies.

Questions reverberate

on the corridors of the mind.

The hall is crowded

and all want to

get into the court room.

 

It's the place where I defended

rapists, crooks,

the man-eater

and the vivisector.

But who will defend me,

the most terrible monster of all?

 

A long row of corpses turn up,

they were all called to testify.
