Powers That Be Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Powers That Be

Rating: 4.5


They leave
a man free
Knowing what he can be
It just don't
make sense to me

The powers that be
let this beast walk free
God don't
let him near me

How can we live
with justice like this

Innocent people
Crying free me
Guilty people
Crying i'm free

When they know
they got it wrong
They just turn
and start to run

Tell the family
I'm sorry
He's just killed your son

Justice for all
is all I call

Unfortunitely, that is the views of so many people around the world in today's society. Very nice poem, though. Really gets you thinking about how 'secure' our governments really are. Look forward to much more from you, sir!

No justice...ever. Think back to Barábbas and Jesus. Thanks for touching the subject. Something to chew on...
