Protecting The Guilty

Protecting the guilty

simply too much work

for us


Protecting the guilty

only hides the truth

about them


Protecting the guilty

merely sugars the pain

of the past


Protecting the guilty

hurts our own children

their future


Protecting the guilty

takes too much energy

for me


Protecting the guilty

really will not ever

help you



Protecting the guilty

is holding onto the past

still alive



Protecting the guilty

kills our happy hearts

staying dead



Protecting the guilty

gives life to more deceit

birthing dark


Protecting the guilty

takes away our strength

losing hope


Protecting the guilty

destroys our very trust

speeding death


Protecting the guilty

means that we bury joy

with our heads



Protecting the guilty

mostly makes us feel

the 'sinner'


Protecting the guilty

complete self-sacrifice

no winner!
