Outlaws Now

Justice has become a farce in the land of make believe We were taught when we were kids never to deceive Judges are appointed that even a snake would loath They believe it is acceptable to tell lies under oath Liberals and lawyers have destroyed the law somehow We who believe in justice are the outlaws now The criminals are living proof that crime actually does pay While the law abiding person has his rights taken away Poor man’s guilty and in prison he sits Rich man gets paid for the crime he commits Man is not judged by guilt or innocence But by what he has in dollars and cents. We who believe in fairness to all We who will not answer to the rich man’s call We who to corruption will not bow We have become the outlaws now.

Wow! that is so tough, It certainly involves the full truth and nothing but the truth. I remember how I told my younger brother when he got out of Oral Roberts Law School when it was out in Oklahoma, how he could steal legally now. My mother didn't like it when I said it. Later on I proved my point when my brother was working in the prosecutors office and a friend of the family did a pay off to the head prosecutor..They ended up calling the friend back in to lock him up for telling me.Loved It!

Hi Vince, never have truer words been spoken, every word that you have penned is accurate, it is relly a shame, that we have come to this pass, great write, D-nyce

MAN, you are the MAN when it comes to laying it right on the line, and telling it like it is - right on! Every word here drips with anger and frustration, but most of all TRUTH! They really have managed to scew the truth and the good into something dirty, and dispicable - how they did it, i'll nevcer know, but they did, and it's disgusting. You should be president. Vince for pres! I'll go make the stickers and pins...

Terrific write...you are such a gifted speaker on the injustice that goes on before our very eyes, each day in this country. An advocate for those who can't speak for themselves....who knows how many people you may be reaching through Poetry Soup? Little changes or big changes....we need it to change! Best Wishes...Carrie
