Lost Innocence (Of Perjury and Injury)

Sitting by myself, I answered the call
hearing on the other side a barely audible, muffled bawl
of a dear friend, in an abysmal situation
for prejudice towards gender was used as a tool of persuasion

Summoned to answer, to undergo trial by fire
accused of misgivings and assumed a liar
Funny thing this Rhetoric, grave is its error
It rationalizes sympathy to one and traumatize the other.

Though history is steeped in one side's favour
Justice shouldn't be blinded and facts be savoured
Though the situation is dire and efforts are required
A lopsided system does little than a few wrong shots fired.
Like an incomplete skeleton with dangly bits and portions
hijacked easily and made a tool for extortion(s).

Yes the change is needed but each case is different
 The call is for equality and laws to be deterrent
Though many monsters are dressed in hides of men, that much is indictive
But give the other side unadulterated power and they'll be equally vindictive.

The fight is not for a gender but for a mindset
To think along that convoluted line would bring only guilt in hindsight.
The evil is not a gender but mentality of abusing,
To trounce one's right with an assurance of eluding
the wings of justice that are easily duped
by false evidences and riding the sympathy so hard to dispute.

Note: A short piece on special request. Hope you find strength in your trials, mate. My wishes and hopes is for truth to prevail.
