The Rule of Law

A lie is a lie and a fact is a fact

But between them are traps that are waiting

For the people against whom the odds have been stacked

Who have nothing to live for but hating.

So they flock to the sites where they see someone strong

And join in to inflate their own standing

For the human desire to want to belong

Sometimes bows to a tyrant’s commanding.

Thus the law takes a blow and must battle a threat

To its reason for even existing

And the hope’s that there still are enough of us yet

To stave off our demise by resisting.
