Some criminals seem to hide behind publication bans,
Which their lawyers demand as part of their defense legal plans,
And the judges tend to go along and oblige their requests,
A symptom of these soft politically correct times I guess.
Therefore there may be convicted criminals walking on your street,
Because of secret courtroom decisions and not very discreet,
Therefore publication bans in criminal cases should be banned,
And no more discreet secret deals as judges and lawyers planned.
The justice system should be a system of open public courts,
No secret sweetheart deals for criminals and their cohorts,
While you and I watch from a distance and wonder why
And also wonder what other secret deals were made up in the sky.
