Silencing The Truth:   For the silenced comp

 
You have the right to remain silent

WHY?

WTF?

I plead the Fifth Amendment

WHY?

WTF?

I refuse to answer any questions

WHY?

WTF?

No Comment, No Comment, No Comment

WTF?

Who comes up with this shit?
Why would anyone remain silent?
Especially if they are innocent
It’s only the guilty that hide this way
The stupid guilty that are not good liars
Can’t keep their story straight under cross examination
Too weak minded to stand up and shout your answers clearly
All you are really being asked to do is tell the bloody truth
But you can’t because then they will see you are guilty
An accessory after, during and before the crime
In my world if you pled the fifth
You would get the same jail
Time as the crime committed
Regardless of who did it
Twenty five years for
Pleading the fifth
They’d talk then
Like twittering
Stool pigeons
