there should be a new trial

information was brought forward
just one of the challenges
the globe that was not before

wave keeps rising
overtake older versions
excessive speed
should be doled out
in smaller amounts

a harbinger of running out
of key hopes
to regain takes
more than a miscarriage of
ambitions

first person urged
to ration what lies ahead
trying to make sure
finding extra
for a third crack
at justice

let us show you how
i am satisfied
still possible
