We are increasingly facedWith this question seminal:Is our Criminal Law meantOnly to assist the criminal?.Just to get a convictionIs an arduous, uphill taskIf you peruse the statisticsNo need to research or ask.So very often witnessesCan't forget what they sawBut turn hostile out of fearWithout protection of law.Everything seems tailoredFor fairness to the criminalImprisonment is a vacationFor any convict who's political.If they get incarceratedDespite doling big doughThey avail of every benefitSuch as parole and furlough.Witness the cushy life of someConvicted of heinous crimesIt wasn't meant to be like thisBut these are different times.The entire system conspiresTo get favoured guilty outIf not by legal hook or crookThen by strategem and clout.If by victims tears and fearsThirst of powers is not satedBy garlanding killers & rapistsThe "rule of law" is felicitated!
