La Balanza

Justice is a dangerous word
That is always in the hands of the powerful.
The poor lack it, the rich have too much
And money will tip the scales.

With money you will buy
A corrupt judge and a prosecutor.
A woman, a cop, your case,
And your freedom.

In America, justice is not believable.
Thousands of forgotten cases will remain
Thousands of dead and missing,
And the guilty are free today.

The poor will have justice
And there will be no more impunity
When the corrupt die
And go to hell.
