Cowardice




I have a problem,
You tell me about the way it happens,
The things that are there to protect us,
And tell us of the cost,
A necissary price,
And when asked if this is fair?
"It's the rules,"
The rules?
THE RULES?
The rules are wrong but you are not?
You are somehow innocent and purged of guilt,
Just because "It's the rules?"
You are guilty!
Your actions and yours alone,
Take responsibility,
"It's the rules" wont exonerate you,
Your cowardly pleas wont save you,
From the guilt you own,
"It's the rules" wont free you,
Wont save your soul,
I can't stop you,
Stop your rules,
I just watch you,
I hear the rules,
But your not guilty,
"It's the rules,"
To punish the innocent for imagined infractions,
"It's the rules,"
To run over the students,
"It's the rules,"
To aid the genocide of a people,
"It's the rules,"
And it's still your fault.
