black man
in them poverty chains
cant get no justice
in them sterile white courts.
blue collar man
in them grimy working chains
cant get no justice
in them insulated courts.
freedom man
in them speak out chains
cant get no justice
in them walled off courts.
poor woman, ha!
in them second class chains
cant get no justice
in them man-god courts.
you and me
in them angry tired chains
cant get no justice
in them fictional courts!
It is seldom that I am able to truly see an act of justice, you are very right. Beautiful writing, as always.
Another great poem. Justice like anything else, for the rich. Nine times out of ten the poor man never gets justice. But every now and again, twenty years down the line They manage to get the justice they deserve. But their few and far between. Fantastic write.

I would like to translate this poem
Money buys not justice but freedom; laws are elastic for the rich; the rich man's club gets off on technicalities, corruption extortion manipulation, exploitation are their rules; the kangaroo court sits lectures to the poor, sucks up to folding mammon; but the supreme court is not an American court; God does not plea bargain.
