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.
