Justice

Stand I on the line that starts the run or race 
Eyes are fixed on the destination 
Legs are ready 
And tight is my body and mind 
But I am not alone here, there are many
Taller is the left guy, weightier is right 
Still idiots shout and I am told 
This is the field of freedom and equality 
And I am here given equity so I have a great chance 
To reach my goal or touch my finishing line 
But I see this is nothing but cheating 
This world is full of stupid 
How a poor man can complete with a man who is rich?
Or how a weak man can contest with a man who is strong?
So I say your equality and freedom are totally wrong
And equity is not better either
Meanwhile the whistle is blown 
I try my best but the richer becomes first 
Second becomes the strong 
Even the third place is not achieved by me 
It is given to the tout who serves the king 
Despondent remain I for a moment 
Then an idea clicked 
From now on I yell and I shout 
Without justice this world is deaf and blind.
