Trains run fast on tracks
Tracking those who hide from lack
Lack of respect
Decency
And the ability to abide
By the laws we have come by
Bye, bye they will say
Saying everything they have left to lay
Lay on the table bail, lawyers
Lawyers can be crooks who would do anything for it
It is what I’m talking about
About the people who we locked up
Up because of us
Us because we believe
Believe in justice, faith, and equality

Trains run
Run until they stop
Stop because eventually you will be caught

The author's comments:
people who commit crimes, and do awful things should find the descency to turn them selves in. Everyone knows that. This is just a poem about that subject
