My Surreal Reality..

The facts are as they are,
the arguments had been made,
we have what we have,
and it will be the judge who decides,
which is the stronger, the more cogent,
the better case was that day.

But we cannot know, the balancing
that the man in the robe makes,
the weight of each thread in the tapestry
the competing stories being written
by the yellow press, the purple prose
the advocates of the different sides
it is a fight we cannot divine
within the mind
of the decision maker
the trier of fact.
