e.g. MASSOUIE
While a convicted terrorist
Has access to all the facts
Families and Victims wait
Just one of the unfair acts.
The Government has the power
To withhold those records from us
Except those who kill our Citizens
Who have more Rights, now that's unjust.
We, the People need the Right too
For some, to ease the pain
To find answers to those questions
That are asked, time and again.
In our Country, seems the Victims
Are the very last to know
And the last to receive Justice
That's the way it seems to go.
The criminals can get free lawyers
A roof and three squares a day
But when Victims ask for something
They are usually told, "No way!"
"Innocent till proven guilty"
Is the way it ought to be
But the guilty ones appeals?
More pain for each Family.
What they say about the "wheels"
That we all know, turn slow
There should be a time limit
On those appeals, don't you know.
Some outlive their Death sentence
And/or Justice is never done
While loved ones of the Victim
Will suffer each day, every one.
There must be a better way
Some small changes in the Law
So, when it comes to Justice
It will apply to one and all.
There's no parole for the Victims
No way to appeal their sorrow
But always seems the criminal
Can look forward to tomorrow.
