Soft Target

It is easy
Doesn't take much effort
To convince the innocent they are guilty

All it takes are willing cohorts
And their concerted efforts
To manufacture believable evidence

Begin again with original sin
Live in poverty but wait for the heavenly
Life is another punishment waiting to be happening

And you will bend your knee to other gods
You will trust in demons
And their face of your governance

You will believe under the pain of death
Such victims are those
Who have no choice left

It is easy
To convince the innocent they are guilty
Innocence is as innocence does

There has been no respite in the tipping of the scales
Punishing the children
So the, you are sinful, doctrine always prevails

And under the blanket of your sin
Such evil laughs at your innocence
Disgusting grins as you ask it for deliverance

Ah! you soft targets
You easy marks
You the betrayed in your innocence

A dog upon a cross
Butterfly in a net
A hopeless case of perpetual abuse

soft TARGET
