"JustIs"
name mentioned in a room full of people
new people, strangers
people of all ethnicities and backgrounds,
identified by a number of course
its a system of pick and choose
unbiased expectancies
biased system
randomly chosen
brought together to be questioned
our biased answers put on the scale
trying to outweigh the outcome of the case
a better detail of this case
"no, we can't tell you that"
"we need you to be unbiased" they say
not minding how biased this method is in the first place
when i questioned its methods
"imagine" they say
"without this method, we put together a jury of 6 people who only like blue ties"
i said to the blue tie wearing defendants
"you guys are fucked"
pointing at the red tie wearing plantiff
"i guess you are safe"
they laugh
i laugh too
but mine is a mere jest of how this system is biased
but as an American
part of the laughter in me
an awakening, a realization
that most countries don't even come close to this type of "just is"
even slightly biased
we are fairer than all others
