Plea bargain

Where justice is a bargain
And dirt cheap to platefuls
Innocents fear the law
And clean slates are at loss

Law is blind but it sees
It's fair irrespective of verdict
But how the guilty goes scot free
And an innocent is behind bars

Blame not the law
Blame not the system
But the culture of statistic
Where numbers find precedence over justice

Guilty may go unpunished
But an innocent should never be punished
Charge not an innocent
And ask him to prove his innocence

Where justice is a bargain
Judge and jury watch
Law becomes subordinate
When plea has sanctity of law!
