“Oath Forsaken”
L-A-W, is to be upheld
But who-are-you to tell me I am un-law-ful?
That my Voice is out of line
That my Voice carries too far—
That it’s time I learned to Speak softer…
Your badge is power given by The People to protect
—Protect human rights laid down in the Constitution
Freedom to speak is one of those amendments
—So WHY must I amend what I’m sayin’?
Your voice is just as strong as mine SAVE for fear,
No one says how far Out of line you have stepped
But you can keep on steppin’—
If you do not wish to hear what I have to say
About the lack of wisdom in your words
Carrying farther than my Voice truly RAISED
In illustration, and not in frustration
All L-A-W-S must be upheld—
And by ignoring my rights, officer
You. Have. Failed.
