We The People


“We the People” The government likes to say Pretend they’re on your side But they’ll betray you any day The officials say they “protect you” But that’s not really true They’ll throw you under the bus And even frame you As long as the judges get their money Which a great deal they TAKE and receive, They don’t really care about you or evidence And Police lies they’ll believe “But- But- I’m innocent The weed truly wasn’t mine! The cops implanted it on me Just to get money from the fines” But NO, they’ll never believe us Cops Word vs. Teen They are “higher than us” And “more honest” as it seems But the truth is most cops are liars And just because we are young Doesn’t mean we should allow this INJUSTICE Bitter taste upon my tongue TAKE NO INJUSTICE!! Fellow young teens of my kind, We feel insignificant but we are worthy And so are our fresh minds We are young, yet we have rights The government must understand We can’t let “The System” use us and abuse us- We have to take a stand!
