Blind Justice Poem by raymond letsitsa

Blind Justice



Justice is blind
for if it was a person
it would be a catholic pope
it would be in a suit and raping
it's colleague at the end of a working shift
it would be a taxi driver
longing for a quick pull at a young girl's skirt
it would be a police officer laying his hands on a village girl in the bushes
it would be a murderer
risking the life of a 7 year old through sexual abuse
It would be a male prostitute resented by the Rastaman
It would be a house burglar who repeatedly rapes my dog
Justice is realy blind
A woman who molests her two
sons and forces the husband to
rape the daughter
An Andries Pistorius paraplegic setting Reeva Steenkamp modelers up for the slaughter
Justice swallows your daughters up like the whale of Jonah
Trafficking more
young women like the Nigerian girls
Shows much hate of color like Xenophobia
and hates male on male love affairs
Like Ethiopian males
It is adviced
that the poor remain wise
while the rich fool
becomes a sugar daddy
who dies from aids
because he didn't use protection
We watch law
molest our rights
when crimes get reported
those who report them
are talking to the wall
But we hope justice sees again
like the blind healed
by Christ's saliva
