[bodytext] => “Without A Reason (Excessive Actions)” - by J. Samuelson Copyright©2002 01/18
Steel bands behind my back Rusted iron bars before me Mistreated, accused wrongly It all happened so quickly. It only took an instant My cheek slammed into ice It shattered on the trunk lid He made me pay the price. Abuse, Without A Reason Who does he think he is? He’s not above the law No grounds to act like this. So now I sit in my cell One chance to use the phone To call for some assistance And pray she’s still at home. Cold and damp around me In this small bed I lie Locked up Without A Reason Just watching time go by. Now sitting in the courtroom They’re calling out my name It’s time to share my story I’ll tell it all the same. The D.A. said he was wrong Excessive force was used He went beyond the limits And left me swelled and bruised. Now I must wait for trial And prove it on the stand All I need are the pictures It’s in the judges hand. Back to my cell I’m taken All I can do is wait Still held Without A Reason It’s all up to the state. I’m only seeking justice An example must be made Unfair how I was treated The way I was betrayed. The law got used against me Now I will stand and fight For actions Without A Reason To turn this wrong to right. My day is quickly coming Now that I’m home to stay The trial will be over He’ll be the one to pay. It’s just too bad, his power Took him out of control I saw it in his eyes The doubt, taking it’s toll. Confined, Without A Reason I know I’ll be okay No more Without A Reason Justice will find it‘s way.
