Death Be Justice

Death be Justice, 2011 Vickie M. Ortiz Vazquez Stranger you are Known to me through a split second Glimpse of your criminal action Story told by the Whiteman Hundreds shout your name Hundreds place faith upon the “great nation” Hundreds failed to notice your color Gender Guilty not by your true actions Guilty in the name of your color Gender Stranger you are Known to me through a split second Yet, not a stranger A story recycle, previously heard Watched by few yet many Drained voices, songs of desperation Faulty process disguise as justice Louder the lies told Lady of Justice refuses to listen Set up by Public Attorneys; poor people’s guilty brand Murder actions supported, celebrated, acknowledge in the name of Red, White and Blue Legal; neither immoral nor unethical Death be justice in the hand of Lady Justice
