Behind Bars

Their devious mines has been tortured
vanquishing their precious soul from being nurtured,
there's no light to see,
trap behind bars, their heart is leaping to be free.
They have no freedom 
a deserving prosecution they should always
be in boredom,
tears tied to the floor, but no one care
luckily their thoughtless lives were spared,


behind bars they cry in tears 
to see their lives in fear
should they have rights?
nobody wants to hear.


Because of them many person have died in vain,
serve them right, they should be in pain.
Their poisonous mind should be ashamed 
for so many deaths, they're the one's to
blamed.
