Justices

Standard

nine of them 

appointed for

their living days

reside over cases

deemed controversial 

concerning several 

citizens rights

debated over

news and 

dinner tables

even when congress 

votes are stagnant 

for the issues

are for some

emotional scars

others exclaim

as moral and

ethical standards 

all determined 

by their

supreme votes

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Under Control?

Standard

knowing tomorrow 

depends on

the success 

of the day

from what was

highly coordinated 

from every person 

each item

have or held

is decided 

just as conversations 

flow together 

thought about

as people 

walk their paths

nothing left

to chance

for it is all

under control 

-Jennie Nawrocki
