They say that class don't matter,
But that just cannot be,
The jury said they're innocent,
They each had a degree.
No previous bad character,
And references galore,
A soldier and a nurse for friends,
Well who could ask for more?
They say we are all equal,
It's simply just not true,
The way the law applies to me,
Does not apply to you.
We all sat in the courtroom,
Accused of the same crime,
You're getting on with your life,
I'm in here doing time.
I'm angry at the system,
The judges and the law,
That sit in ivory towers,
The rich above the poor.
This is our 'big society',
It isn't worth a cus,
There'll always be one law for them,
Another one for us.

at the end of the day, if you don't want to do the time, don't do the crime
not a bad poem i guess. Don't something to make money

Sean is a top lad and a true comrade he deserves our support. It's good to know that at least there are some people left who realise the struggle for liberation starts and ends with the destruction of class difference.

It's a question of perception.
