A murder was committed the 1st of May.
A man was charged and locked away.
During his trial Justice fell behind;
The innocent was proven guilty this time.
His testimony revealed the truth so clear,
A truth the jury refused to hear.
They decided when they saw his face-
A color of a different race.
So not to go against their own,
They let the guilty man go home.
He will go unpunished, having been so cruel,
While the man in the jail cell feels like a fool.
Looking to God, questions fill his mind;
"Why can't these people be colorblind?"
Unfortunately, this man's only sin
Was the darker color of his skin.
