day SEVEN HUNDRED and SEVENTY NINE


The Scales of Justice

i
a woman whose reputation is tarnished
gets tied to a stake and burned
as an example to all those
who might be like her

a man whose reputation is tarnished
gets confirmed as a Supreme Court judge
as an example to all those
who might be like him

ii
a woman sends emails
on a private server
and is pitched into
a black hole of disgust

a rich man commits
years of tax fraud
and sits as the president
of the country he scammed

iii
the scales of justice
lean a little
