LOVE SEES NO LEGALITY

From a Lawyer and Poet

Legality and poetry
are two different things
when you post a snap or poem
'tis yours,
yes
as time is recorded

but you also permit it
for sharing and commenting
see the guy coming
with cement behind
he will cement poetry
with legality
both will solidify into one bulk
so don't sulk

poetry is simple emotion
legal guys
work is to exploit
well up tears
so the jury may feel
how hard up may
one may have been

daily stories here we read
are yours any different
tell us please

poetry is lovely
legality
only thrashes

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

if they were on your ass qand you did stuff
to stnd against them and you had too be in
court...thats different
most stay safe
thats not like making as stand
those really meaning making do jail

thats a hard go..
I dont hink many want too do this
just vent here

no convitions
so kay
just admit it

I know the hard men and women

love sex and legality
weaker hearts can have
no sexuality
thanks esker glad you read me
off and on
more off than on

A very insightful poem. It reads well. Now, I learn that there is something known as legality poems. I found a bunch of them at https://www.google.com/?ion=1&espv=2#q=what+is+a+legality+poetry. For a novice in the temple of poems, it is a scary thing to be illegal.
What shall I do now?

tis poetry only
poets are worlds best lovers
so forget what i have composed
to the garbage bin of time dispose
this one was composed
on some lady
who wanted to say
come ...inspiration don't shun!

Now what lady would that be?
