JUSTICE

Justice, morality, reason, equity

All in which America lacks

A nation broken by oppresion and killing

Becoming absorbed by laziness; oblivious to the prejudice and unjust laws

Filled with bias and partiality

What happened to "one nation under God , indivisibe, with liberty and justice for all"?

"Justice for all"?

Justice was not given to Michael Brown in 2014 or Trayvon Martin in 2012, or Mark Duggan in 2011 or Edward Garner in 1985...and many more

When will it end?

When will it be safe for a black man to walk down the street?

When will justice finally prevail?
