Blind Justice

Ron Flatow
They say we are free
yet the laws are governed by hypocrisy
doctrines by decree
dictating to you and me

Justice is blind
and the gavel comes down
hidden in plain sight is
the criminal justice system

such a fine line
policy and law designed to protect you
that's what they have you believe
Stand knell plea bargain deal

The lies of our military
and the contempt of our president
by the swipe of a pen high jacked into ruin

computers media money and threats
Hypocrites that contradict
spoken words without meaning
Do as I say and not as you want

Bewildered are its people
speechless on both grounds
he says we'll get these terrorists
standing smug and proud

Staunch believer my way is the only way
Violates USA treaty
Destabilizes our economy
inflates the pump

world leaders taking a stance
the arms race again taking face
3rd world leaders are painted evil
hidden agendas and secret court rulings

Political arrogance
the image they portray
using the illusion of media
to trick and sway

to gain your trust, to make you believe
in their ideology
They speak of change
they want to work for you and me

so they go on tour to raise money to preach
to visit a state they analyze a sheet
it shows favorbility places they dont call you a liar, slut or a cheat

but in the end your vote doesn't count
a judge ruled it he signed it into law
King George lives again today
holding in his hand a dagger behind his back

I'll kill all those that get in my way.
I am the Sovereign rule I am the Sovereign law.

    Deeply moving. Politics and government are not always for the will of the people.
