When the rich steal from the poor,
It's called business
But when the poor steal from the rich,
It's called robbery.
When government officials loot millions of public funds,
A committee is formed.
When an average citizen steals a few thousand shillings,
He burns at the justice of the mob,
Or is locked away at the injustice of the Court.
When a government official sleeps with another person's spouse,
It's a scandal or Photoshop
But when an average citizen does it,
They are prostitutes.
When a white man hits a black man,
It's called self defense.
When a black man hits a white man,
It's called assault and he rots behind bars.
When a man hits a woman,
It's called violence,
And he too rots behind bars.
But when a woman hits a man,
He's just being weak.
When the western countries bomb a country,
Their soldiers are called heroes,
But when the country defends itself,
They are called terrorists.
Truth is only true based on who shouts loudest.
If he stole a knife and a pan,
Media says he stole a pan using a knife.
I want to trust the law,
But weren't colonization, religious killings and slavery children of the same law?
Society is full of mirrors,
Society is full of blind men.
