Brock Allen Turner's paid his debt; he's free
to get on with his life as best he can
his victim's left to nurse her injury
inflicted by this privileged boy-man
judge Aaron Persky cut the kid some slack
as if droit de seigneur were his by right
the sentence he'd have served if he were Black
seemed far to harsh for someone lily-white
the ruling class don't spend their youth in jail
our courts are careful not to waste their time
a fratboy scoring a bit of drunk tail
is barely even treated as a crime
'though Justice should be blind, she's known to glance
and darker skins don't get a second chance
to get on with his life as best he can
his victim's left to nurse her injury
inflicted by this privileged boy-man
judge Aaron Persky cut the kid some slack
as if droit de seigneur were his by right
the sentence he'd have served if he were Black
seemed far to harsh for someone lily-white
the ruling class don't spend their youth in jail
our courts are careful not to waste their time
a fratboy scoring a bit of drunk tail
is barely even treated as a crime
'though Justice should be blind, she's known to glance
and darker skins don't get a second chance
