I know someone wrongly imprisoned…

Justice

The statue of justice is purposely blind,
and she has been for a long, long time.

Clearly signifying the injustice given,
to those convicted and sent to prison.

A socially aware few make the laws,
guided by their own personal flaws.

In some cases it is purely political,
in others it borders on hypocritical.

Laws against victimless crimes,
and the laws that free diabolical minds.

Injustice all around, so unsound,
it borders on unreason, unbound.

Twenty years for possessing pot,
and brutal killing much less than that.

Lawyers much too close to judges,
personal favors, bribes, forceful nudges.

And money seems above the pale,
free the rich, throw the poor in jail.

Fill the prisons with the unwanted,
where a gang full of plots is being plotted.

Where torture and killing is commonplace,
replacing reason with anarchy and race.

Eyewitness blind justice must be replaced,
with careful forensics and scientific grace.

Juries of injustice must not rule,
when bad verdicts are meted out cruel.

Warehousing people is not the right way.
fair laws, rehab, and technology for today.

Fostering repaying a debt to society,
and restoring the forgiven to propriety.

And a quick death to those who fail the test,
why should we allow them to infect the rest?

Current systems on most levels have long been broken and no longer serve us. Passionate write!

Your insights cut close to the bone Ron. I wonder though if wisdom will ever reign supreme in this rotting system.

Excellent Ronald!
It is so frighteningly true it abhors the well informed mind, on just how blind justice really is! Every where you look for newsworthy information injustice is there and exposed, but it seems society as a whole has been so desensitized to it all that it goes slighted and the injustices continue on as well as those who spurn and officiate them!

the judicial system is certainly broken & blind in every corner of the earth ... criminal agendas are much too plentiful ...

while I will always believe that no one is above "the rule of law", our justice system is not the pragmatic model it should be to enforce our laws -- as you point out Ron, it has become a system to control the poor and those out of favor more than a blind system to enforce laws we need to ensure a crime fear environment -- money, politics and judicial representatives far less than above reproach are too representative rather than the exceptions in our system -- I know that the application of science and forensics have proven many convicted individuals to be innocent victims -- so perhaps as you say, that is the answer -- peace and love to you -- Jon Michael

If drug use should have prison penalties, then some 'feel good' doctors should be put away for life.

Well, to go to jail for possessing an illegal substance IS legal, no matter how unfair or unbalanced the process is...we have to take responsibility for our actions if we get caught...I keep my irresponsible actions in my own home, then the only person I hurt, is me...e
