I listened to hypocrites on
television today
Talking to a “justice
committee” and having their say
A number of them were saying,
a “remediation agreement” would save jobs
A corporation should not be
prosecuted because the innocent would be robbed
The livelihood of workers
were supposedly at stake
Therefore corporate
corruption could be explained as a mistake
If they are guilty they
should perhaps pay a fine and go free
Corporate contracts, jobs,
and shareholders are innocent you see
Many of these same people concerned about
jobs: voted to attack other countries
The homes, jobs of their
victims, were destroyed, was that not an atrocity?
These actions were also
diabolical war crimes as well
But hey, hypocrisy rules in
the House where “justice” dwells
It really is a sad sight
watching this farce called a “justice committee”
If this is “democracy at
work” then I believe, it is nonsensical and dirty
Everybody and everyone is
supposedly equal under the law
But, it appears some are more
equal: I believe that’s what I saw
If a multi-national
corporations crimes can be explained away
Then this is a perversion of
justice, that’s what I say
There is an old saying “power
corrupts”
And I believe I saw it today,
listening to hypocrites
