WHAT IS TRUE JUSTICE


Since I cannot verify some hearsay
In Korea were fifty Turkish soldiers
Slickey boys* invade campsite at night*
Taking while you slept and stealing
The Turkish soldiers tired of it
Their justice system is simple
Steal once remove a hand twice another hand
Why they were called slickey boys
They were very hard to catch
So the Turk soldier went to the village elders
If you do not bring the thieves by morning
to our campsite one villager will be strung
and hung in barbwire at the entrance of your village
The warning was ignored
The next day the Mayor was found bleeding in barbwire
The slickey boys were found and punished
There was never another theft from their campsite
In America we put murderers, rapist, child abusers in prison
We feed them, give them weights to lift, and release them
Our innocent homeless are left starving on the streets
A co-worker was caught embezzling one and a half million dollars
Two ladies, one my wife, were led to the front door
Told the only guilt knowing her to leave and not come back
The CEO of the company was asked to resign for trusting her
Oh, the girl who embezzled, four and half years in prison
Today we find released after one year for good behavior
Child molesters are treated and released to later kill
What a system of Justice we have in America
I just wonder what the CEO's of those banking establishments
Are going to purchase with their five million dollar bonuses
A new house, or bigger boat, for their beachfront in the Bahamas
While I this year pay my taxes to help bail them out
Am I being too political--  God save us from these terrorists
