How quick would things change if justice was blind
Instead of peeking at the pile of money
Left behind by those with names of wealth
Those who should be wearing black robes
Are instead decorated in cheap dollar store green
Passing judgment to protect predators and ******
Of the right white and boo who

opps I made a mistake... it won't happen again

Ignoring the pain and cries of the victim
Again and again
Just in case you don't know
She too is somebody's child
Whose future is now bleaker
Than that **** you were paid
To keep out of criminal row

And what if all you knew where the facts of the deed
Not the heritage of skin
Or how much his father rakes in
At the years end
Would he have been sentenced as harshly
As those who did the same thing
But whose ancestors where brought here in chains
Forced to work by whip and ignorance and hate

How can I ask this
How can you not see justice
Is no longer blind
Its gaging on dead presidents
While getting
The white right and boo who off
The sword has been dropped
The scales replaced
With cheap stiletto high heels
Smeared lipstick on your gavel
While predator and ****** go free
And nothing is done
As if nothing had happened

But what if it had been your daughter
And not a wealthy mans son

If we all went blind
Then could we bring
This over the counter
**** culture
To its deserved end
Or could it be possible
To see it in its ugly truth
And just stand up
And say enough
Is **ENOUGH
