"A Symphony of Injustice: Shadows in the Daylight"


Gives this a title-A tale of injustice, in the light of day.

Bob Menendez, a proposal made,

To protect transit workers, a law displayed.

 

But where's the law for citizens, the road unsafe,

Deadly bus drivers, leaving hearts chafe.

An opportunity to walk from a crime so severe,

Murderers on wheels, fueled by fear.

 

Paychecks and pensions for lives they steal,

Victims' families left to bear the ordeal.

Funerals, wakes, and graveside sorrow,

A life-long journey, no hope for tomorrow.

 

Bus drivers blamed, yet treated as victims,

A twisted dance, where innocence crumbles.

Long-life disabilities, bodies scarred,

A world turned upside down, justice marred.

 

Politicians, prosecutors, judges in line,

Sweeping deaths under rugs, a sinister sign.

Blame on victims, a cruel charade,

The powerful ones in shadows, unafraid.

 

US Senator Bob, a criminal tale,

Backdoor deals and stolen gold's trail.

A wife's deadly crash, a life erased,

No charges laid, justice misplaced.

 

A Mercedes gift, a luxury charade,

A reward for a life, in shadows they trade.

No justice for citizens, in this twisted game,

Incompetent drivers, victims left in shame.

 

Attorneys trolling, bullying to hide,

Articles online, truth denied.

Reckless drivers roam, lives they claim,

Away with murder, no justice to name.

 

Demonic rulers overseeing the land,

Bus drivers driving, life slipping through sand.

Families broken, hearts in despair,

Survivors coping, a weight to bear.

 

Pharmaceutical profits, on stress and depression,

Liquor stores profiting, victims' regression.

The trigger phrase, thrown under the bus,

Injustice prevails, causing a fuss.

 

New Jersey, unsafe, corruption's domain,

Deaths by buses, political stain.

2024, a year of reckoning near,

Exposed lies, truths will appear.

 

The universe balances, justice will rise,

Injustice warriors, no more disguise.

A war on injustice, a battle fought,

The year of reckoning, justice sought.
