DON’T RECALL excuse, easily given.
Negotiated answer get, what want.
“Corporate” way to, screw truth.
Bring down vulnerable, to system.
One against one, suddenly changes.
“Them” versus one, now outnumbered.
Even “friends” will, turn against.
“Friends” lives dependent, on “them”.
Told that justice, will prevail.
Doesn’t matter if, win case.
“Corporate” has power, if appealed.
“Judge” knows who, advances career.
Know this to, be true.
Happened to me, years ago.
Accused of being, an opportunist.
Plus added not, ever friend.
Given ER job, always wanted.
How did I, know wanted?
Plus her secret, even deeper?
Out of respect, didn’t reveal?
“Raped” now by, former “friend”.
Won the case, they appealed.
That judge me, never spoke.
He even included, ethnic slur.
He reversed decision, took away.
Now would be, civil case.
I had been, through enough.
No longer believed, they cared.
Sexually abused child, still cries.
Added now this, new assault.
Do I remember, her name?
No, but will, never forget.
Yesterday I watched, the Hearing.
Experienced again “her, against them”!
“Truth not sought”, victimized again.
Government does not, support us!
Why didn’t tell, my parents?
Was told “respect, my elders”.
Felt my fault, he did.
As “Elder” must, be okay.
At age forty, told parents.
This is what, mother said...
“His way show, loved me”.
I replied “but, not appropriate”.
No way FBI, would know.
Even if investigated, “kept quiet”.
I’m not the, “only one”.
“Due Process” does, not exist.
Men have power, over women.
In the family, at work.
All the way, to president.
Obviously still has, NOT changed.
What will it, take now?
“Pot calling the, kettle black”.
That’s their defense, those complaining.
Even that slogan, is racist.
With them nothing, has changed.
“Guilty” because we, are different.
Not white male, with power.
Keep doing “what, boys do”.
No No No, !!!
That’s my response, you hypocrites.
When do we, fire you!
Election coming up, let’s start!
