Chasing Down Truth

The machine buried him,
poor bastard spent 40 years in the coop
before technology chased down the truth
the machine gave him twenty million for his time
the mouthpieces took a hefty slice
the machine will tax the settlement
burying him all over again.

I am assuming someone was falsely imprisoned. For 49 years! How horrible, I cannot imagine it, but now I think it must have happened, and probably has before, and maybe after. Thank you for the "making me think" poem, my friend.
