A Poem

Impunity Reigns Supreme by Orianthi

Impunity reigns supreme among those that hold power
Common people slammed with the media's meaningless banter
Children sacrificed in custody battles or to the greedy mad men
Left to their own devices, hoping for a savior and wondering when

Who will stand up for what's left of the victims and their innocence
Their voices break through their captors making heard their grievance
The predators hold false loyalty to co-conspirators like cowards
Their only line of defense is their mask of hollow and pretty words

In order to save themselves they must destroy the innocent
The weak become silent and fade, while the strong rot and ferment
Burying themselves and their victims with the weight of corruption
Dodging prosecution and their fate with the noose and the hangmen

And I ask you Citizen, when did we become so utterly complacent?
With the writing on the wall and when the flawed system is so blatant
