Law

If I were to postulate what law is

As Professors are wont

I would posit:

Law is what we think it is

An obfuscation of legal scholars

An enigma.

Why, defined law is everything we think it is

Which precise words can’t wholly describe

It is the minstrel to men

It is the arch-enemy of anarchy

It is what is in the bosoms of men

Not codes and statutes

It is imprinted in the conscience.

Law is not an UFO

Law is not an extra- terrestrial

Law is a citizen recognized by man.
