Is Justice Blind

Is Justice blind?
Or
Has the color of a Browned skinned people been so frequently splashed, 
that it spills into her eyes as it blood soaks her sash?

Does Browned skin 
blind Justice?

Is Justice really blind?
Or
Is this just the ranting of a Black Anti- Police movement
playing tricks on my mind

Does Justice remember the Injustice of a kind?

Has Justice forgotten black slavery?
Men women and children from youngest to oldest
 in shackles balls and chains

A whip for the back, 
a noose for the neck, a bridle for the big black horse 
to plow my fields as I tug forcefully on the reins

A Fugitive Slave-Clause, given effect by, The Fugitive Slave Act of 1793
Namely in part
U.S. Constitution (Article 4, Section 2, Clause 3)
Which proves Sections of the U.S. Constitution were created to keep Blacks from ever being free
By eliminating Cities, States, and countries blacks could run 
to Just be
And
Creating a police to serve White Justice
For 
the capture of we slaves in case we rise up or flee

Is Justice really blind
or
Can Justice really see

Does Justice know?

The renowned Hangmen 
at the ready, backed by genocidal government laws and decree’s

judging scores of black ink structured as names turned to numbers
 on dockets at the bottom of the Hangman’s Tree
and
hastefully pulling triggers of deaths trap doors to quickly silence sounds of innocent cries
of not guilty plea’s
eliminating chances of being imprisoned in libraries where chapters in Black Law
Hold freedoms key

shrouding the eyes of Justice with a blood-soaked sash
With this question left to be asked

If I were a Police Officer, a judge, a Prosecuting Attorney, or any Law Enforcement Official of any Law Enforcement Agency, 
sworn to protect and serve the people, uphold the laws and their sanctity
would I want to be held responsible for the answering of this question if it were asked of me, 
whether alone or publicly?

Is Justice really blind or is she refusing to see
that
death before proven guilty, Sentence to be served immediately
is the judgment being passed on a people
with the same skin as me?
