Paying for Justice

By JensGoneMad

Paying for Justice
Guilty until proven innocent,
You junkie.
Well known drug trafficker, you junkie.
Sober for seven years,
You’re getting off lucky.

Cash in hand,
You criminal.
United we stand, you criminal.
We demand your integrity.
Justice and guilt go hand in hand.

Admit your faults,
You addict.
Stick another needle in your arm, you addict.
One way out of here young lady
You’re gonna die anyway.

Throw them to the wolves,
Shinning badges and pearly white teeth.
Cramming fear propaganda down your throat
So you can't breathe.
You’re gonna die anyway, you junkie.
