Human Rights

The Untouchables 
Above the Law
Only the subservient 
Adhere to the rule of Law
The Law pays no heed to the victim's 
Human rights 
Is a criminals charter
A Guilt edged 24 carrot get out of jail card
To be called upon when caught
Currency for Lawyer's 
Willing to defend the indefensible 
For the price of silver and gold
Any lie or defense told
For anyone any crime 
They are willing to cross any Grey lines
