They weave lies
And distort the truth
Layers of lies thrown
To humiliate and persecute
Act like a hammer
Left you battered
And life totally shattered
Prosecuted with the bang
Of a gavel
And caged in a metal box
On account of the lies
They had deeply sworn
Life reduced to nothing
But nothing
Honor besmirched
And looked upon
Like a piece of dirt
