Behind Bars
written by: David R Mellor
I write about what I see…
If you don’t want me to see it
Close the TV channels down
I write about what I see…
If you don’t want me to scroll up and down
Close the internet down
I write about what I hear…
If you don’t want me to listen
Put all the people behind bars
Though I fear, the truth
May slip through the cracks
