To Judge Thomas

Can they take back the rights our parents earned? Take back the Lynching and all the houses burned? Can they move you to the back of the bus? And close their doors to most of us? Stop us from just saying it's not fair When all can see discrimination there? All while saying there is no hate While one sided judges decide the debate Have not traitors, liars and thieves trickled in? Where once Providence and justice judged their sins Had we reached the pinnacle of success before the Devil could stop our work in progress "HE LEADETH COUNSELLORS AWAY SPOILED AND MAKETH JUDGES FOOLS" Where once we were in the right direction, but now they change the rules. No need for them to find out if it's unjust of even cruel And if you think they love then you've become a fool [ Job 12;17-18]

Another one you scored with. This is a shining gem because it presents a sad truth. A favorite for me. "" Have not traitors, liars and thieves trickled in? Where once Providence and justice judged their sins"" Pure truth... purest truth my friend.
