Unbutton history a little
There the liar, cad, bounder lies
Leader of men who fled Balaclava

One law for the rich, The Times wrote
Another for the poor
You have to remember who wrote it

You don’t hear here
“The People versus…”
In court, it remains
“The Crown…”

~

n.b. There are those who prefer things as they have always been, to these we owe nothing.
