Having a law makes us feel good
Good people don’t break the law
So there’s an imaginary line
Of things you don’t do on purpose
And that protects the vulnerable
Because we alllook to act right
But really we just don’t want to get caught
It isn’t that the bad stuff doesn’t happen
It’s just less people are obvious about it
Or they don’t realize what they’ve done
And the law cant informed a lack of intent
Implicit bias goes unpunished
It doesn’t happen intentionally
The conundrum is when it isn’t on purpose
When the hidden becomes seen.
