==============================
I saw you -
like a nun on the altar,
turning tricks for a backer or two.
You saw me -
like a child on the playground,
and you knew I was helpless 'fore you.
I could not be bold,
and make you get told
that in your black robe
you were naked
as the day you were born.
Yeah, you been seen, 'bean -
me, at gunpoint, with your deputy crew.
(And, I knew what you were up to.)
Forgive me,
for my lowly transgression,
of trying to be a good family man.
Forgive you,
for your covert agenda
and the violence you did from your stand.
I could not escape,
from you helping them rape
me and my child.
You were powerful, biased, and wild.
(Everyone knows it, girl - )
you, in chambers, with a lawyer or two.
And, they know what you get into.
They watched us,
from the holding-pen gallery,
as you stripped down the peasant in chains.
No pity
for the captive, your victim -
as you whipped, no one knew your real name.
The outcome was known,
from the moment they called
to bring up my case.
It was just another quiet court-rape.
(Only one more, of millions - )
Another father; to be stripped of his Rights.
(And, the legal system hides you.)
You worked me -
like a girl on the corner,
turning tricks with a sister or two.
I blessed you -
like a priest in arena;
watching lions circle closer, I knew.
There was no escape.
Yeah, the audience gaped -
you could turn your thumb down.
You had power
to control the whole town.
(Only one town, out of millions. )
Your appointment needed something from you.
(And, we know what you' been up to.)
