Greed born from treating men like chattel birthed
the blindfold with which Justice in the West
is crowned, the wealthy wanted her to heed
only the laws they drafted, not to see
the torment they inflicted on their tired
and poor, the African and Refugee:
as with their every conquest, they desired
to tear from her Prudence and all her seed,
so when you masses yearning to breathe free
finally seize her sword, remember she
is just as much indentured. Only cleave
the sash about her temples, and she'll treat
your common captors as they forced her treat
you and your kin: sans Mercy, sans Reprieve.
