Justice Is Truly Blind

America is crying                                                                                                                              Injustice paid a big  cost                                                                                                                           A not gulity verdict                                                                                                                                  For a life that was lost                                                                                                                              A family heartbroken                                                                                                                             Hearts needing to mend                                                                                                                           A mother and a father                                                                                                                                Feeling like they lost their son all over again                                                                                            A community outraged                                                                                                                            How can this be?                                                                                                                                      A man killed a young man                                                                                                                         And walks out scott free                                                                                                                              What were they thinking?                                                                                                                       What was on their mind?                                                                                                                            I guess it's true what they say                                                                                                                 That justice is truly blind.
