The societal set up
To some I am supplicant,
To some I am a supplement,
To some I am a client and
To some I am benevolent.
To me some are supplicant.
To me some are supplements,
To me some are clients and
To me some are benevolent.
Can you alter the set in a society?

Sins precede virtues
Could he be a scrupulous earner
Who has been a lavish spender?
Could he be a true benevolent one
Who has made a trust to do this?

Lawyer's Paradise
Some times law is very confusing
System of courts is quite amusing,
The cases are not disposed off fast
So significance of the justice is lost.
One or for other reason day after day
Months and years, cases are delayed.
Justice seekers wait long in the process
Pay for being victim of the dilatoriness.
Lawyers get adjournment every time
And charge to their clients per diem.
Some times to harass the opposition
Take adjournment for flimsy reason.
Many clients are poor and uneducated
Pay for justice and wait time unlimited.
The client suffers by adjournment practice
And unfortunately fall victim to injustice.
Some lawyers are habitual of adjournment
Some Continue meaningless argument;
For each adjournment client has to pay
Lawyer extract money, clients face delay.
Courts which do not timely decide
Are the places of lawyers paradise.

I like them all - I don't always approve. I see myself as a sort of benevolent uncle to these characters, and I can see why they do what they do; sometimes they make some mistakes, but at heart I think they're decent.

Trust
To appreciate a lie
Requires expedient endowment
Ubiquitous to psychopaths
So be careful of all acquaintances
Trust is virally benevolent
