for george

 

justice 

they called it justice

when that man was put in handcuffs 

and walked away 

but only one man walked away 

no sentence is sufficient

no verdict brings him back 

no one should need be cheering 

for this kind of justice 

there is no restitution 

or reconciliation 

or happy ending 

for george 

there is still 

a daughter

whose father will never 

come home 

this justice 

is not

enough
