Vox Populi

Justice sees the truth,

Veracity in undimmed light.

Puts to flight, vain hopes,

Fact-free and staged managed rights.

Populace grant no place to grief;

Silent gut groans, and painful distress,

You, O happy race of mortals

Vacate distractions' mistresses.

The train of extremity affliction

and adversity is bound to detrain.

Let your hearts be ruled by love,

Esteem the incoming foreigner.

For your forebear was once

A wandering sojourner.

This is for he who confronts.

My case's court is adjourned.
