Dear Lawyer...

As a lawyer, you curse.

You deal with situations and people and have conversations that 

Cause you to curse.

You deal with a system 

As despicable as Nigeria 

With no accountability

That fails to hold its people to ransom

Political, and regular citizens.

Where so-called CEOs can owe you money  

Run off to hide from their debt in the US.

If you were faced with that type of scenario.

It's like being face to face with an accuser or accused.

In that scene, what do you say?

Do you play nice? Act formal. Pretend. Pay Lip Service. Ask him kindly.

You curse.

You tell the MF owing you money that this is no longer acceptable.

That the system may have let you off.

Let you run and hide in the US with my money.

But I reserve the right to use whatever language

Suits the despicability of your actions.

And Senile. MF. A$$hole. Piss off.

All and more.

Immediately, come to mind.

Does it make a difference?

To the recalcitrant Nigerian

In their unwavering offensive behavior.

Not much.

But it lets you blow off steam.

It lets them know.

As a lawyer. You curse.

I curse.

Does that make me less of lawyer?
