No Racing Rat Is Indeed Above the Law

No racist rat is indeed above the law Justice must be blind, fair, equal and raw For all, in a democratic society We are sick and tired of the hypocrisy Where the poor are treated wrongfully or unfairly And the rich get away absolutely scot-free With odious crimes, with murder and theft Many innocent people are put to death In arbitrary, prejudicial and unusual fashion And the obviously guilty ones are, in their mansion Or their tower, enjoying life to the fullest We yearn for the day, when no pests Or no rat is seen or perceived to be above the law We want justice to be blind, fair, equal, and raw No, today is not the first day of spring Or the first of April. Ring the bells, keep ringing. Copyright © 4/4/2023, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved. Hébert Logerie is the author of several collections of poems.
