selective enforecement

the stigma of a rapist seemed too stark
so Aaron Persky cut the perp some slack
hiis felony down-graded to a lark
like no judge would have done had he been Black
his time at Stanford failed to cultivate
a moral basis to shape how he acts
his social education's a blank slate
albeit he had mastered reams of facts
to seize a stranger's body as his right
as if she's not a person, but a thing
foul soul can wear a face that's lily-white
he got good genes but woeful parenting
Brock Allen Turner squandered years in school
but never took to heart the Golden Rule
