(4th of a mini-series of taking poetic license)
They made their decision.
They went over each question.
Still, there’s no justice.
Their collective mind is made;
All considerations were weighed.
Still, there’s no justice.
The more the lawyer is paid,
The more the jury is swayed;
All I see is injustice.

One thing’s for sure… The American justice system is not flawless. 😦 Brilliantly conceived poem, Karina.

Pity those people who are put away for years and later found they were really innocent. Scary!
