Equal Rights and Justice
It’s another Reggae Wednesday and today’s video is of former Wailer the Stepping Razor Peter Tosh telling it like it is in this 1977 tune.
Justice
There is a lady I would love to meet
It seems if she smiles your way,
Life could be really sweet.
But it seems she only mingles with a certain class,
So its unlikely she’ll be chilling with my poor black a**.
I hope someday, maybe she’ll come around and
Probably spend time in my part of town.
Honestly, I ‘d love a date with this little Miss,
That elusive lady known as Justice.

A short poem about the unfairness of the justice system as it relates to class. Sad thing is that many in our society prefer to turn a blind eye to such matters. As long as life is good for many of us the unfairness of it all never seems to matter. I say it’s time we stop turning a blind eye to injustice because whether we like it or not sooner or later it will affect us all.
