The Court of Public Opinion
An Accusation has been made,
They rush it on the front page.
Presumption of innocence long since lost;
Guilty as alleged, freedom the cost;
The nature of evidence be damned;
The seriousness of the charge demands;
An investigation must begin;
Repeat, repeat, repeat the charge;
Thus, the perception is at large;
There is guilt of wrong doing;
This is not at all amusing!
