Money Mute

The judges judged wrongly, 
the wealthy mute the court,  
poor masses cry,
for Justice is an expensive commodity,
the court murmur, mumble without bubble, 
and adjunct the case till monday morning,
because money mute the judge. 

Without trial, the deemer released a statement
for the accused, ten years imprisonment with hard labour, 

the law is not loyal to the poor masses, 
but friendly to the wealthy, 
the deemer knows the criminal who commits the crime,  
but money mute, 

there is no equality before the law,  
nothing like equality when the quality 
Is in quantity and doesn't qualify the quality, 

the masses cry for justice, 
the Just become unjust, 
poverty send many to prison without a crime, 
wealth freed many criminals with crimes..
