Justice in America: Invoked but Not Ensured

Even in America There’s No Shield of Justice. Our Justice Must Be Bought or Requisitioned in the Streets.
♣ It’s strange, wrong and irksome that injustice in America bides long, fast, injurious and tragic since alone the Constitution can’t define the grim phenomenon. Nor is the Supreme Court or any other government institution proactive in culling out injustice, exhorting it and banning it expediently. Currently the High Court acts upon no pressing matter without public provocation, without formalized petitions from lobbyists who most often speak for the rich, for corporations and other powerful special interest groups who can best afford the time, expense and craft required to even broach the US Supreme Court after all.
Unfortunately, American jurisprudence is largely a matter of citizen intervention, a very costly, time-consuming, frequently indecorous procedure wherein those most susceptible to injustice itself, average wage-earners, minorities and the poor, are banefully ill-equipped to participate and cast their fates to the wind. So much for individual rights, free speech, true justice and equal opportunity. It’s conspicuously odd that there exists no mandatory, cost-free, citizen-based advocate for justice, one embarked upon a daily crusade to briskly point up, weed out, enlist court ruling on and stamp out injustice on every plane, not merely contain the grave disease but prevent it as a routine part of US government operations. There’s a dire need to maintain American social justice by taking the initiative to do so and not waiting passively as usual for the unfair advantage, the inequitable privilege of the powerful to dig in, take hold, become inexorably ingrained, grow finally immoveable, normalized, distortedly acceptable, deceitfully traditional, all but unrecognizable for the treacherous injustice into which this bane of exclusivity has evolved.
