Liberty and Justice For All?

America! You have proclaimed
'Liberty and justice for all'
but you have not acted justly
towards those who have dark skin
or the indigenous people who stood
in the way of your prosperity!

I do not care about your lofty words,
your anthem or your declarations:
Do justice and seek reconciliation
with those you have offended!"

“How long will you defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?
Defend the weak and the fatherless;
uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

(Psalm 82:2-4)
