A Judicial
Smuckin'
Fifteen prisoners sittin' in the dock.
Not a one would be
there if he had a buck,
But without any money, they're flat
outta luck.
All they're bound to get is a judicial smuck!
Such
Greed!
Guilty of a crime!
Thousand dollar fine!
"But I don't
have a dime.
I'11 just serve my time.
But, your honor,
please!
Really, all them fees!"
"Shut up, black
boy!
We'll give you some time,
Admit you to bail.
How
much time do you need?
We'll work with you."
Such greed!
Their
Crime
I visit prisons all the time.
They're filled with
men
Whose greatest crime
Is that they haven't got a dime.
They languish in their prison cells,
Unable there to make
their bails,
For the higher their bonds are set,
The more
money the judges get.
Presumed innocent, they serve their time,
Are not convicted
of any crime,
But despairing in a prison cell.
They plead
guilty to get out of jail!
And, so, my friends, as you can see,
That's not the way
it's s'posed to be!

unpopular people -
nobody likes him"
