His mom thinks it’s justice for her son
But I know that me and him
both walked down the path
that was already planned for us
And we stepped onto
the tipping scales of Lady Justice
with her eyes blindfolded, peeking through slits
because that rag is so fucking old
worn-out, stretched thin, barely even there
Amal Shahid to the leftJeremy Mathis to the right
perfectly imbalanced
because where I come from
jail or death
were the two options she handed to us
because where he comes from
the American Dream
was the one option she handed to them
So here we are, blind Lady Justice
I see you, too
