The Disloyal Justices
They once were held in high esteem
the pride of each judicial dream
The ones who had the final word
when arguments have all been heard
Their loyalty was guaranteed
all virtuous, in thought and deed
Nine beacons of integrity
the last step in democracy
But privilege has hidden flaws
where Justices corrupt the laws
Their shameful greed has tipped the scales
their broken oaths tell ugly tales
The solemn robes of black they wear
belie the truth of what dwells there
A Court bereft of moral code
consumed by seeds of greed they sowed
