Don't you know
Today I heard the sad news
That the boys had turned to the crows
Their grime smiles
And mocking tongues
Made a mockery of law itself
Such insensitivty to life
In the hands of the young,wielded like a knife
Their fathers they all shunned the law
We all know the bullies in neighbourhood
They are living nextdoor
None of them will do any good
They tried them
But the jurors were intimidated
And the Judge never abnegatted
The verdict
They commited the crime
But they still get away with murder everytime
The justice system is broken
It is a sham
When no words of truth are spoken
Then darknesses fester behind the dam
There is a block in the river
And the truth will not flow
For certain forces of evil
Its better that does not go
For if there is corruption at the root
You can tell before long it will shoot
All the way to the tips of the branches
And the tree will grow twisted,
as its green life blood stanches
If you let them get away with murder everytime
Its the job of the judge to not stand the fudge
They must cut to the core, to the quick
If there is a cancer growing there
Let them excise it,
Don't take away their tools
Or try to hide it
The truth will out in the end
But by that time how many lives will be spend
On the the pursuit of justice
Which is blind
She does not see colour, only equality
She does not seek race only equanimity
But when her hands are tied, you will find
They will get away with murder everytime
The policeman who was dragged for two miles
Behind the young crooks with their arrogant smiles
Where his mangled body was chewed, by violent swinging so crude
Who taught these young men to smirk
To take life, like snuffing out a flame with a snort
Well their own candles will burn in remorse
If ever they pay pennance for the crime that they shirk
I hope their guilt leaves them mangled and maimed
Like the lives of the policeman and his wife they have shamed
We cannot let justice seem a game
Or else flippancy and arrogance will grow untamed
Such a foul deed needs deterence,
It needs punishment as an example not a pretence
Because showing leniency now, later you will find
They will get away with murder, time after time
