golden boy

Brock Allen Turner's father intercedes
to plead for mercy 'cause he's just a boy
who suffers plenty from his rutting need
to use a passed-out coed as his toy
a crime that gets a Black man fourteen years
drew just six months because he's lilly-white
and doesn't fit the profile of our fears
judge Persky winks like somehow that's alright
results may vary, 'though the law's the same
on who's the perpetrator in the case
although he's guilty, he escapes the blame
well cushioned by the privilege of race
for Stanford students, kid gloves are the norm
until we find the will for deep reform
