The Decaying Picture of Justice

A picture hidden away in an attic, forever under lock and key.

A picture that is festering away, one only the devil can see.

A picture now so decayed, secured behind chains and bars.

A picture taken of corruption, showing its full history of scars.

 

A picture now 27 years old, a picture that shows many faces.

It's a picture awash with lies, told in many different places.

The colours are now all faded, the paint all cracked and peeled.

A picture of wholesale injustice, with every last lie revealed.

 

A picture taken of the establishment, together with one aim.

A picture drenched in sin,in secrets, deceit and in shame.

One day the world will see just what the picture has to show,

And every person behind its cruelty is a name we need to know.
