A Mockery of Court

Latest

Justice was never meant for the poor,
only injustice knocks at our door.
Subjected to all forms of hate,
while ‘just us’ become wards of state.
Justice deluded by man,
an injustice breeds the Klan.
Juries refuse to accept the truth,
while ‘just us’ die in our youth.
Justice is blind to us
injustice breeds the must.
Freedom and equality is a fake,
while ‘just us’ our lives they take.
Justice we may never see,
an injustice becomes the norm of life to be.
Judges configurate all the lies,
while ‘just us’ are the only one dies.
— Al Cunningham, San Quentin State Prison
