The Irish Actor And The Court Of Law.

In a court of law, a drama unfolds
As the accused trembles, nervous and cold
His fate lies in the hands of the judge
And the arguments of his lawyer’s nudge

In walks the Irish actor, with gravitas and poise
A towering presence to dispel all the noise
With a commanding voice, he takes the stand
And like a brilliant star, he lights up the land

With every word, he delivers a blow
That shakes the prosecutors with each new throw
The jury hangs on his every breath
As he lays bare the innocence beneath

He speaks of truth and of human frailty
Of the vagaries of life and the workings of destiny
And with each word, his audience is moved
Drawn to the power of his eloquence, and the truths he proved

In that court of law, justice was served
Thanks to this actor, who had the courage to stand tall
For his soaring performance, we will always preserve
As a moment of triumph that touched us all.
