The Menace to Society Is Not the Foreigner Next Door

What keeps my faith afloat
Like the average ship in the sea?
The type of faith that alleviates me from
Outrageous justifications that can never be tamed.
The just cause
The jargon
The right to remain silent.
How can I keep faith in the ones who control the human race,
When they are as screwed up as the civilian
Who caught a bullet in the face?
Not to sound blunt,
But the citizenry is corrupt.
The faith diminishes every time
I smell a dirty cop.
The just cause
The jargon
The right to remain silent.
Bullshit.
You hide.
You lie.
Stand beside your shield,
Not behind it like a coward.
I’ll tell you who ends up silent.
