Fallen Nation

I stand here all alone
For our justice’s been dethroned
Waiting for my trial
Which is more in truth my exile
I know there's no justice here
For it is that truth I fear
The judges here corrupt
No way to resurrect
What's now a fallen nation
That is now planning my cremation
Or rather a public execution
For this is their solution
To the problems caused by me
And my views of liberty

It would change the meaning. But my story behind writing it was a girl in a recently turned toltarian government who spoke out against this control. She's waiting for the death sentenced she know will come...
