If justice is perverted
Then the system becomes
corrupted
Are “rule of law,” just empty
words?
That sound good, but are
absurd
“The independence of the
judiciary” is another slogan
Is it just more words, to
make us beholden?
To a system that pretends it
is “law abiding”
When it makes special laws
for those accused of bribing
When a society loses its
moral compass
Do criminals get special
privileges among us?
Do those in power try to
excuse and explain away?
Corporate lawbreaking: Does
corruption hold sway?
Laws are made to enable
corporate malfeasance
“Saving jobs” is the twisted
political reasons
If this can be done for
corrupt corporations
Is there really, “rule of
law” in any nation?
“There are none so blind as
those who will not see”
Institutionalized corruption
affects you and me
If it becomes “normal” in
everyday work and business
Will we ever start asking,
whatever happened to justice?
