Swept Under the Rug

By SlimShdy32

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

What is justice? A pillar that holds this country up Our founding fathers claimed “all people deserved it equally” Synonyms: fairness, honesty, integrity Sure what happened wasn’t major scale But why does this victim’s satisfaction mean any less? My perfect little town Neighborly and cute Wouldn’t want to scare anyone, would we? Ha! The key witness is only 16!  She must be full of shit! Show us!  Tell the newspapers!  Put it on TV! AWAKEN THIS SMALL TOWN! Homicide, suicide, blah, blah, blah It’s all the same, right? Your life, my life I kill you they give me life She kills him it goes away all so nicely He wasn’t anyone prominent anyway Way to wipe the slate clean I applaud your quiet tactics Some role model you are I feel even more comfortable knowing there are murderers around What if I am next? What will you say then?two friends of mine were the only witnesses to a murder which was thrown out and called a 'suicide' just so the community wouldnt be disrupted...
