Irony Of Justice

In the court of law, we seek truth and justice 

But sometimes the irony can be quite ferocious 

The guilty go free and the innocent suffer 

While the scales of justice seem to falter and stutter 

Money and power can sway the verdict 

And those without are left feeling quite derelict 

The poor often punished, while the rich go free 

The irony of justice is plain to see 

The innocent accused, left to languish in jail 

While the guilty walk free, without any bail 

Evidence can be twisted, and lies can be told 

Leaving the justice system feeling quite cold 

The irony of justice is harder to ignore 

When those who enforce it seem to even the score 

Death sentences handed down without hesitation 

Ignoring the rights and cries of the condemned's nation 

When justice is served, it can be sweet as wine 

But when it's not, the irony is quite unkind 

Those who suffer and are left without a voice 

Lament the irony of justice, without a choice 

So let us strive for true justice, free from irony 

And uphold the rights of every person, equally 

For only then can we say with conviction 

That true justice has been served with no contradiction.
