Justice


big corporate people steal billions
but the court order redemption
is usually a few hundred millions
and jail time probably less than three years


little people get mixed up with mary jane
mostly for their own use, deal a little
but should they get caugh three times
would end up with life without parole


this confuses me, it seems the scales
of justice are far, far away
but more to the point
who is holding them?

Henry Burt, how lovely!

In regards to your piece, Bravo, for calamitous events of tiny injustices have become calamitous hypnosis of ridiculousness of tiny events, while disregarding eclipses of soul perpetuated without surcease of guilt by real evil, by propensity to rule, have become common fare. Common spoils of supercilious content tends to spoil the purity of fishing without regard to bait, or wealth of fish attained.

Ha, I guess I mean, fishing relaxes awareness, maybe we all need to 'go fishing'.

In regards to your age, Henry, You frolic and dance with a beautiful existance of ageless quality.

Loving life, I remain,

Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

Just because the system does not dish out sentences like you think they should does not, in my book, make the law-breaking of a dope-smoking pothead to be alright. It is very telling that you only mentioned potheads as something to hold up as an example of the justice system's inadequacies, very telling, indeed.

Amen! You hit a truth here that never gets dealt with. Our whole justice system needs an overhauling, but no politician wants to tackle it. WE have to seek those who do and vote them into office.
Great one Henry!

...or tilting them like the dishonest buthers of old who weighed their products with one thumb pressing on the scales so is todays justice at times. Great capture my friend.

A very good question in what seems to be a very confused justice system these days.

Judges who should be kicked off the bench, that's who. Splendid write on the travesty of justice in this country. Look at poor Terri.
