Above the Law

in this civilized democratic society we have the law a system of checks and balances that our forefathers had foresaw but today we have the rich and powerful, the elitist ones who think that they're above the law no matter what deeds they have done we also have those who are in a law-enforcement capacity who think the law does not apply to their acts of duplicity we have court clerks, judges, attorneys and D.A.s who use the rules of law as a game that they can play yet it's us the American citizens, the law-abiding average man who view the law as a most important and judicious plan innocent until proven guilty, it's the democratic way we regard the law as a necessary rule to have order in this day it's a shame and a travesty that those in trusted positions of power think that their deeds are above the law at any given hour so how do we fix this problem and amend this flaw? so everybody will know that they are not above the law.
