lawyers

why don't more
bad things happen
to bad people
you might ask,at
least before death,
unless of course
you are one of
those people and
then you want to give
the last gasp confession
and receive that all
inclusive forgiveness
package sending you
straight to heaven
bypassing security,
the body scan, luggage
check and a written
exam before dropping
into the fiery pits
of hell and damnation.
but i seem to know
not alot, but a few truly
bad people, and except
for the twitching and
inability to sleep,
and ulcers and things
like that, they seem
to be doing quite well.
and not all of them
are lawyers.
