Legal Ease
by Ahchwath Ty Battle
Reparations are illegal per the currently approved US Constitution
Restitution and restoration are the logical and acceptable solutions
Laws don’t allow for slave debt to be erased or be permanently settled
Strawman characters are created for funds to be cleverly embezzled
Courts are fields where their encroachments are weighed and judged
Dockets are list where jury selections are biased, fixed and smudged
Amendments are attempts for foundational laws to appear changed
Juries are peer selected so verdicts are reached as was arranged
Lawyers are just pawns playing the queen’s chess game as esquires
Codes are encoded systems of words and symbols that spells require
Contracts are the branch of law that makes contractual observations
Treaties are signed to grant illegal issue of our lands as reservations
Invaders that are given certain rights in foreign land are denizens
Lawless strangers are assigned privileges and made corporate citizens
Legal Ease
