Is this justice?
The high and mighty
deciding if your struggles are worth

being heard --

A bunch of white men in black robes
reaping the hopes and souls of the empty
Is this what we call a democracy?

Are you being heard --

Can we convict the insignificant?
Living in a biased numbers game,
Can we depict which conformist

aren't being heard --

Is this justice?
The high and mighty deciding
what law, what version of a democratic society

is being heard --
