I have a question
why when our public servants make mistakes
they are able to plea for forgiveness and vow change
and time and time again
despite broken promises
they are given the same chances
when they are critically judged in the court of public opinion
or even in the court of law
there’s always a cry of mercy duly granted
yet when people like me mess up
well our positions are shown
because there is no mercy
there is no chance of forgiveness
nor an ear to hear our vows for change
there’s only vitriol and mercilessness
no one appears on news channels protesting our charge and court mistreatment
or scrutinizing the public and legal system for the due process we get handed down
…just a thought
