THE COMMON LAW AND EQUITY
The common law is male,
Equity is female;
Each needs the other,
For justice to be in order.
The common law is lame,
Without equity’s fame;
Equity’s a piece of nonsense,
Without common law’s presence.
When the conflicts arise,
Equity should stand tall,
But upon the common law,
For both make justice rise.
The common law and equity,
What a wonderful blend!
Equity is female;
Each needs the other,
For justice to be in order.
The common law is lame,
Without equity’s fame;
Equity’s a piece of nonsense,
Without common law’s presence.
When the conflicts arise,
Equity should stand tall,
But upon the common law,
For both make justice rise.
The common law and equity,
What a wonderful blend!

About this poem:
I wrote this poem in 2000 after I finished a course, 'Nigeria Legal System' in my second year at Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma where I read Civil Law. I found the blend of both edges of the law fascinating. This will be better understood by people who understand the legal system of the Commonwealth of Nations as well as Christians who understand what Apostle Paul meant by the Law and Grace in his epistles.Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them.
