It's not anything new
The justice system is cruel
It's hard enough to sit in court
Just for the justice system to fall short
He deserved more
And yet now I'm the one at war
At war with myself
Because in the end, the justice system doesn't help.

to ask
weight of a crime
to wonder
measure of punishment
they say law is blind
a judge, impartial
courtrooms, as a church of fact
and yet
and yet
with each passing generation
it's apparent the law
is only blind to its own hypocrisy..
(i'm sorry for your hurt
that your bravery
should be rewarded with such
little justice
is a shameful mark on all of society)
glad you have an outlet for your rage
stay strong!
Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
I’m afraid the Truth and the law may overlap but are not the same-I hope that you felt some vindication for now for the victim and their loved ones…
