The world is your court

The world is your court
presided over by your fellow man
He who holds the gavel in his hand
Holds prejudice in his heart
Those who pass judgment and give punishment
see no crime, hear no crime, and speak no crime
only in their biased minds
Where white is more pure than black
And rich is more pristine than poor
And as your judge makes you state your case
Impartiality is a blushing idealism
glooming over your misfortune and longing not to be ignored
Justice has an evil twin whose name begins with In
Cleverly cloaked in his brother's garments
presenting us with specious arguments containing insubstantial evidence
enough to incarcerate the innocent
whose only crime is being different
