She waits, a gavel serving fate
to the many
that will then affect the few.
Precedent weighs the gratitude of the one.
What happened before.
Happened only to the one.
Author notes
UK Legislation and convictions in court are decided using precedent (previous cases) the previous case happened to that one person, which will then effect the many to come.

Wow this is very thought provoking! Yes I know of precedents. This can certainly have either a positive or negative effect.
Thanks for this great entry
