Who Gets Caught

JONATHAN SWIFT

"Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through."

WHO GETS CAUGHT

Lawmakers attempt to cast a net

But who are the fish they tend to get?

Tiny people of no consequence remained

In the net they are detained

The big and powerful go bursting through

Or grease a palm, that's what they do

Sleazy crooks can slip away

Cunning lawyers will have their say

Who is caught, does it matter not?

The innocent, there are a lot

Why some get through, who knows?

Beating the system is how it goes
