Racism and Classism have created such a skewed nightmare in our judicial system, creating criminals and closing doors to our best and brightest in ever increasing numbers and as a poet/writer, this was my initial response.

          WHEN JUSTICE HAD A  MISCARRIAGE

When Justice had a miscarriage

bled all over court room floors

across the country

moaned  and sighed

and bled and cried

we watched in horror

watched in terror

watched in silence

when Justice had a miscarriage

labored in vain

to give birth to truth

birth to hope

birth to 'equal treatment under the law'

those of us

who tried to flip the flaw

 that everybody sane saw

 were picked off

one by one by one

and when the shit

was done

fear of being next

had won

and our freedom took a hit

just as if we faced the gun

when Justice had a miscarriage

peeked from beneath

her blindfold

and felt the babies

she wished to hold

ooze wetly down her thighs

while tears welled

in her eyes

and the media machine

being what it has become

draped her in headlined lies

bound her in shackles

of evidence

dreamed up

by the moral less

majority

and pretty much

ran that ****

from every major city

when justice had a miscarriage

let us remember

it was not her first

she has lost so

many babies

but the facts

only gets worse

each time she is

impregnated

with the hope

that  she will  someday

completely reign

she's held hostage

in some closet

and beat down

by the insane

quoting the inane

thought-- that this

is for the greater good

and if she acted

as they would

they'd let her babies

live to grow

but of course

that hasn't proven so

when justice had

a miscarriage
