Justice Lost
The deed is done
And nothing is won
For a life lost
A family counts the cost
So does it come down
To what negotiations are found
And what will they plead
Is weighed up to what a family needs
Something done in a second
Is left to what the lawyers reckon
A father stands and says the words
Pleading to a lesser charge seems absurd
So they leave the press scene
With tears alone appearing so mean
And how do you return to life
When justice lost seems so rife.
