How, When and Why
How is it
The rich and famous
If they commit a crime
Mostly get away with it
And seldom do time
In prison, when they can pay
The price of freedom
That's not very nice
They don't seem to have a conscience
And think clemency is their due
Not a thought for others
Lesser mortals like me and you
Why are there different rules
For those in ivory towers
One would need to ponder on
This question for hours and hours
The law was put in place
To be legal and fair
Could someone please explain
Any legal reasons there
