Actus reus the guilty deed
A voluntary act a wicked seed
Omission too a crime so grim
A duty breached a conscience dim
Mens rea the mind's intent
Purpose knowledge a dark descent
Recklessness a careless plight
Negligence a fading light
Malice aforethought a chilling phrase
Murder's shadow in a chilling haze
Felony murder a doctrine so grim
A life extinguished for a lesser sin
Larceny robbery a thief's delight
Embezzlement a breach of trust so bright
Forgery fraud a web of deceit
Crimes against property a bitter defeat
Solicitation a whisper in the ear
Attempt a crime so near yet so unclear
Conspiracy a pact of wicked souls
Aiding and abetting losing all control
Self-defense a desperate plea
Reasonable force for you and me
Insanity a troubled mind
Unknowing unknowing a fate unkind
Fourth Amendment a shield so strong
Searches and seizures righting every wrong
Probable cause a warrant's guide
Exceptions abound where justice can hide
Fifth Amendment a fortress bold
Silence counsel a story untold
Miranda's warning a solemn right
Protecting the innocent in the darkest night
Sixth Amendment a solemn vow
Counsel jury a voice allowed
Confrontation a sacred plea
To face your accuser and set your spirit free
Fourteenth Amendment a shield for all
Due process equality standing tall
Exclusionary Rule a bitter pill
Evidence tainted justice standing still
The law a labyrinth complex and deep
Where guilt and innocence forever sleep
But justice prevails though the path may be long
And the truth will emerge in this endless song
The law a beacon a guiding hand
Protecting the innocent across the land
Upholding justice for one and all
A tapestry woven standing strong and tall
