I do understand
The want to punish the guilty
But what I cannot accept
Or put up with
Is when the want
Turns into a witch hunt
And puts innocent people
In prison just to make
People happy
Please tell me
Exactly when
It became more important
To justify the hate filled whims
Of an angry society
Than it was to find
Who was actually responsible
Our justice system is
So beyond flawed
And so beyond broken
That we need to stand
Together as one
To get things done
For the sake of everyone
So that another innocent
Doesn't end up dead
Just because
We failed to act
