Stars Behind Bars

Stone’s sentence commuted.
Justice again looted.
Principles jack-booted.
Convictions rerouted.
White collar crooks, relax.
The Don has got your backs.
He’ll cover all your tracks,
and shield you to the max.
Feel free to cheat and lie.
No one will blink an eye.
There’ll be no case to try.
No court that he can’t buy.
And no amount of oversight
can fix a system tilted white.
It won’t be fair to black or brown.
We must start over. Tear it down.
