The Judge and Jury?
January 16, 2015
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 --
