FELONS Have No Voice

Felons Have No Voice

They brand us felons for any offense.

We lose our right to vote.

We lose our voice.

Yet, in the halls that are marbled with power.

Being a felon has a voice,

Being a felon can run the land,

Yet, felons have no voice.

Past mistakes take our power,

Past mistakes take our rights,

Past mistakes takes our second chance away,

Past mistakes takes our voice.

For the powers that be

Past mistakes takes no freedom

    from them,

Past mistakes a felon maybe

But, the halls of presidency loom high

Felons have no voice

Without a voice there is no power

Without a voice we are invisible

How can a felon be president

But felons can’t vote

A felon can be president locked up

But felons locked up can’t vote

“Injustice anywhere

   is a threat to justice everywhere”.  

No power!

No voice!

Is an injustice, anywhere, and,

  everywhere!
