Colours of courtroom

Black and White is                        
colour of court                        
but i can see so many colours                    
Leading                
Objecting              
&                
Sustaining
               
between the cases.            
                       
The red hands cuffed                       
in the dock for trial for          
acts undefined by exceptions.            
                        
Minor's yellow frills yelled      
to show red      
rained jam in her pink      
as they were fringed by fear.              
                  
The wealthy purple purse      
powered to bribe attorney                      
escaping criminal prosecution.              
                     
The sheriff in their              
brown civil uniform                        
with loaded pistol        
to guard proceedings.              
                      
The green property deal                       
awaiting decree of                
its ownership.            
             
But witness of morals            
had invisible colourless tears.               
                    
Between black and white                      
colours of crime and justice sway                    
as judge pronounces his verses                    
either
in black or white.
