In Many Countries

In many Countries in the World today Many good people in prison for a long stay People lawfully not guilty of any crime At the pleasure of the Government locked up for no given set of time Many Government leaders nowadays are sadly lacking in ruth And that any good person is not in prison is of course an untruth For political or some other reason or whatever may be Some people for years in prison not knowing when they will be set free Good people in prison does seem all wrong Sad to think that justice to everyone does not belong In a World where oppression and injustices in Many Countries rife People in prison for their words or wanting a better life Or exposing Government corruption behind prison bars locked away For speaking out against fraudulent legislators this the price some do pay Good people in prison you may say this cannot be But this is the case for many a refugee.
