Justice

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS


Justice

 

The life of a gifted child cut short

The honorable fall while cheaters thrive

Victims exposed and punished in court

The system rewards corruption and lies

Justice seems a last resort

 

The gentle never have a decent chance

The crude and vulgar win the prize

The immoral always seem to advance

There are few exceptions for the wise

The lonely are rarely asked to dance

The evil lives while the good man dies

 

There is little justice in this life

Of that we can be certain

It’s rife with misery and strife

Like Helena Bonham and Tim Burton

We journey slowly into the night

Til they lower the final curtain
