Analysis of Justice



Actions have consequences so we are told.
Yet, no real consequences for rapists makes them bold.
A judge telling a rapist that he shouldn’t do jail time is cold.
That a rapist gets a slap on the wrist is not fair.
It shows that the judge, an old white man for the victims doesn’t care.
While the rapist is put on a list and gets community service.
This light sentence does their victims a disservice.
