Common Law
An unwritten law
Its growth dates back to the
Norman Conquest of England in 1066
It is common
Common to all
As common as poverty
Consistent and uniform
As uniform as unity
Acknowledges legal rights only
Even with the moral injustice
A party
With no legal rights
Has no alternative in the
Common law
Common to all
As common as poverty
Consistent and uniform
As uniform as unity
Though strident and adamant
Offers a flourishing claimant
Monetary compensation
The innocent party is awarded
Damages for loss suffered
It is common
Common to all
As common as poverty
Consistent and uniform
As uniform as unity
