Defeating The Ends Of Justice Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Defeating the ends of justice
Many denied justice
Corruption rearing its ugly head
Greed rearing its ugly head
Selfishness overriding the conscience
Hunger for power taking precedence
Moral values taking the back seat
Murder being more prominent.

Defeating the ends of justice
Crime is rewarded
Police taking bribes
Court officials accepting bribes
Judges up for sale
Dockets go missing
Dockets misplaced
Criminals going scot free.

Widows ill treated
Orphans ill treated
The less fortunate abused
The poverty stricken exploited
The vulnerable taken advantage of
The powerful abusing their powers
The powerful misusing their powers
Defeating the ends of justice
Yes, defeating the ends of justice.
