They listen closely to 'the men in gray.'
In them they place their utmost respect
Never questioning the words they say.
Then the prosecutor 'paints his picture'
Of how terrible this man must be
With careful strokes of his talented brush
He shades the truth so none can see.
For the conviction is all that matters
And they will achieve this -- in any way.
They will even commit crime themselves
Just to lock a good man away.
They are not concerned that he has children.
They don't care that he has a wife.
For he was 'man enough' to challenge them
So, they now intend -- to take his life.
He was 'man enough' to face their power
And for his kind -- they have no use
He has questioned their authority
And now he must suffer their abuse.
Although 'strong men' built this nation
With their sweat, their lives, their tears
It now favors the weak and heartless
And those afraid to face their fears.
Now the leaders of this nation
Need only those -- they can 'manipulate'
For they now say 'We are the power'
And it is us that holds your fate.
They now control the justice system
Now, even the judges, they also rule
And the once great phrase 'you have the right'
Is only to mislead -- a total fool.
Even the 'strongest men' are powerless
Against this monster that's now unleashed
And it's time the 'average man' must pray to God
For only God can "kill the beast."
