justice system
by Nanette Bellmanraise your right hand,
swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth,
s o h e l p y o u G O D.
because
this is all about incrimination,
a fate @ stake
so Pete and Re-Pete
(supposedly @ your rescue)
talk. talk. t a l k .
about something they know nothing about.
let you be the bystander,
(just once)
until the ask you a question.
it makes you remember
you want to be a "witness",
but you're the v i c t i m.
