Justice System


The justice system is supposed to make everyone equal under the law

But when you go before a jury of your peers 

they judge you based on your skin, race, religious , gender and economic situation

It's not fair how the rich are found innocent while the poor are found guilty

They say its equal but all I see is inequality

So don't fall for sterotypes they create inequality

judge a person by the facts of the case not by their background

let justice prevail over inequality in the courts

change starts in the courts then the laws
