Laws are the Cuckolds, Alas

1.
Laws
are to
lobbyists
as cuckolds 
to coquettes:

Effort and
ingredients
define all effects.

Law 
resembles
justice,
as cuckold
seems husband,

But
greatest counterfeit
can’t equal
or intend.

2.
Seduction
begins as a quest
abetted by a con
leading to conquest

3.
Experience
inverts
education:
The final test’s 
done first,
then the lessons.

4.
justice

stiffins into lawform
melts in passion’s heat
dissipates

back
into myst  ery

just/ice
