[net.religion] The Wheels of Injustice

By Art Solomon.

They say that,
  the wheels of (justice)
They grind slowly,
  yes we know,
  they grind
  and they grind
  and they grind
  and they grind,
It seems like they grind
  forever.

And what they grind
  is human beings,
  and how they grind.

They grind away
The humanity
  of the victims
  who get caught
  in its jaws.

Oh/God protect us
  from a law abiding society,
Have pity on us
  who are its victims,
Protect us Oh/God
  from those who say
"We are Christian,"
Because we know
That if Christ
Walked visibly among them today
They'd throw him in jail tomorrow.
Oh/God protect us from
  law abiding Christians.

The wheels of injustice
They grind forever,
But they have
Nothing at all
  to do with justice.
Because
The
Name
of
The
Game,
is
Vengeance.

Oh/God protect us
  from
The
Game
Called
Justice,
Where the rich get richer
and the poor,
They go to jail.

Yes, the wheels of injustice
They grind so slowly
And human sacrifice is their meat.
They grind the hopes and dreams of some
While the parasites live in their homes
  of plush.
Oh/God, we are poor.
Have pity on us
And protect us
From the law abiding citizens
Who turn the wheels of injustice.
