        Hear me out before passing Judgement
        for that is the principle of our nation
        Innocent until proven guilty beyond
        a reasonable doubt: our peers the ones
        who pass
        our sentence in open trial.

       By law hearsay should be discounted
       evidence used against us obtained
       through warrant.

       Do I hope in vain for Justice
       in fading democracy?

       For what I see is brutality at
       any means defended
       at the cost of life, liberty and happiness.

1. Our society and the questions I constantly deal with when it comes to the Justice System.

2. "Do I hope in vain for Justice/ in fading democracy?" Sticks out because I see myself as ever the optimist with hopes/expectations of what things should be, even though reality paints a different story each time.

3/4. As of right now, at 1:11 am on 3/12/2017, I cannot answer these. You hit the nail on this horrible world we live in, where our attempts to make it better have little initial impact, with hopes that they turn into ripples with larger impacts in our lifetime.
