RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN JUSTICE
The Corrupt Court
After decades of neglect
When the press turned their backs
As they did for American heroes
In a former time and frame of mind
The media shines its glaring light
On the infamous corporate court
The highest in the land
The institution beyond reproach
To reveal its corporate brand
Accepting bribes from billionaires
Elaborate gifts and housing deals
Has become a standard practice
For the members of this court
That there are two systems of justice
Is now an indisputable fact
One for the rich and privileged
Another for the poor, the black
The native, brown and homeless
On the other side of the tracks
