the ordinary folks face the weight of law

 


The ordinary folks

When they are caught by the police

AGC will charge them in court

They have no chance to pick judges


They have no chance to ask for bail

The judge will send them all to jail

We can see the tears flow from the dock

As they try to understand the sentences


A minor offence committed

Some are allowed police bail

Others may face a few nights in jail

The law is blind but the judges?


Not like the VIPs cases

They can throw in many excuses

As long as they can walk free for months

Some even try to recuse judges to their cases


But a poor mother who stole 2 tins of milo

She was desperate to feed her children of 4

Though she was caught by the police

A judge sent her to 14 months jail


Even bail is allowed

The poor woman couldn't post it

A judge should have shown compassion

Who is going to take care of her 4 children?


The judges should show compassion on ordinary folks

Ask the police for more details on the cases and their lives

The VIPs cases shouldn't be allowed to drag on

Because they have the monies to buy time
