Kevin Ginsberg's Lunchtime Haikus

Kevin Ginsberg's Lunchtime Haiku

what a day 'twill be

when all of us have true blue

due process of law

 

kindergart'ners know

apologize and forgive

better than revenge

 

"ounce of prevention

is better than pound of cure"

applies to law, too

 

old school lawyers say

"buy five divorce get one free"

we say, "who are you?"

 

I did it.  Sorry.

Now let's talk about healing.

C-Y-A is dumb.

 

What's better question,

Miranda warnings read? Or

How did cops treat you?

 

pick past or future

medicate, incarc'rate or

med'tate, mediate

 

either-or?  win-lose?

how about both-and? win-win?

just a suggestion

 

lawyers remember

freedom and security

can walk hand in hand

 

for two hundred years

the legal system forgot

to breathe.  remember.

 

how many lawyers

does it take to change the world?

one, if it is you

 

when body of law

is manifestation of

spirit of us all

 

who would have thunk it?

a lawyer sitting around

writing law haikus

 

and, my favorite...

 

framers sent message

to future, all created

equal.  We get it.
