The system has long ago failed

The system has long ago failed.
Before I could state my case,
the courtroom had sent me to jail.

It wasn't always this frail.
Through years of feminist disgrace,
the system has long ago failed.

I'm hated. Because I'm a male,
and a female's teary-eyed face,
the courtroom had sent me to jail.

Harrassment was her favorite sale,
"he touched me within the workplace!"
The system had long ago failed,

when it stated a woman could rail,
and on the mere word of her case,
the courtroom could send me to jail.

I patted her arm when I hailed
her performance, well done at her place!
The system has long ago failed,
and the courtroom had sent me to jail.
