In Deference

Ethically aligned to the cause -
 Or so I thought
 A cause that decried the exploits
 Where masses are coerced
 Often, social justice is a cynical smokescreen
 Only at their bidding
 Close-circuit reach - don't overstep my boundaries
 Such boundaries that crumble under order
 Sincerely you serve your own ends -
 Do as I do
 I can't tell my left from my right -
 Corruption blurs
 Face the wrong direction
 And we risk containment
 Whilst they sanction murder
 Close-circuit reach quickly erases all travesties
 Such travesties waved away with feeble ease
 It's adjudged to be uncivil
 You should be at a lower reach
 Bound over
 Because open thinking is an act of complicity
 Leaders are leading by example
 'Rights' and 'wrongs' on a sliding scale
 Sit atop the order of importance
 You too can reap the power harvest
 The 'deviant' young get in the way
 We become suitably distraught
 Whilst their judges take lives near and afar
 And reap the power harvest
