Gone Wrong

The courtroom stands

the judge enters, black robes in place

here the emotion is hate, revenge at hand

husband and wife here for the get evens

the love they had now just so costly

a fight for possession of community property

expensive staging, a legal production

this, their final confrontation

lawyers in charge of the children

to use as part of an elaborate subduction

everyone trying to make sense of the wreckage

attorneys scheme to obliterate the other side

anything to encourage the breakage

the payoff comes to who can better undermine

here, both sides consumed

meals are anger and vengeance

dragged out days of pain

hate reaching its full potential

oh, how much hurt is produced

reducing all to victims of love gone wrong
