Way of the world, not
vigilant enough the weak
grapples with problems

The scales of justice
Favors the rich who peddle
Influence and money

Where is the fairness
The deprived helplessly cast
aside and trampled

Written for 3Word Wednesday with words vigilant, helpless and trample and shared with Chev's CARPE DIEM #197 with prompt justice

  6. A grave matter that you have grappled with here. "peddle
    Influence and money" explains a lot!!
