Publicly Shamed, Allegedly Framed

It's not my fault I'm not to blame You have no proof I will show no shame I am a father of four And you accuse me of this I'm internally destroyed To get your wish Figures and statistics For crimes you can't solve Let's pick on the innocent Your conscience resolved To hell with my future As you walk away Another bent system And I am your play

How sad to be accused and sense internal destruction, James. In many aspects of society, especially in government, the systems ARE bent. Outstanding entry for the contest and I offer my best wishes for success! Love, Carolyn
