The System Failed

By RavenCross

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The system failed They cuffed the pot smokers and locked them away But the baby killers are running free Better not make a living selling sex 'Cause what you do that's hurting no one Is the governments concern Still they haven't found the antrax distro But rest assured flag burners are behind bars You're paying for the jail cells too The system failed you and the system failed me The system failed us allThis is... ermmm, kinda an affirmation. I guess... I'm not a druggie or a hooker, by the way, since people seem to think becuase I believe in rights to do certain things I must be doing them.
