The Rule of Law

A lie is a lie and a fact is a fact But between them are traps that are waiting For the people against whom the odds have been stacked Who have nothing to live for but hating. So they flock to the sites where they see someone strong And join in to inflate their own standing For the human desire to want to belong Sometimes bows to a tyrant’s commanding. Thus the law takes a blow and must battle a threat To its reason for even existing And the hope’s that there still are enough of us yet To stave off our demise by resisting.
