That Poor Mockingbird

Reg just loves watching old films and the one he watched last broke his heart and it was all based non a lie ….

               That Poor Mockingbird

they killed the mockingbird
That jury of twelve
they took away the truth to that place
we now know well

it was calculated
That lie that she told
To hide her face from the shame
Leaving that poor mockingbird
To cry aloud
praying to the lord for her to tell the truth

That is where the sad story of truth truly died
They knew what they were doing
Prosecuting that poor man with the lies she supplied
He acted with nothing but kindness
But what they did was mindless
Condeming the innocent
On that liars word

it was calculated
The lie that she told
To hide her face from her shame
Leaving that poor mockingbird
To cry aloud
praying to the lord for her to tell the truth

There was a silence in the court
as the verdict was read
Guilt was imposed on that innocent man
The jury congratuleted each other on a job well done
And the truth that was heard that day was none

it was calculated
That lie that she told
To hide her face from her shame
Leaving that poor mockingbird
To cry aloud
praying to the lord she’d tell the truth
Leaving him To cry aloud
praying to the lord she’d tell the truth

Time went on
They dragged him out
They hung him up at dawn
He died
That truth lied, at his side
On that day it died and now it does reside

it was calculated
That lie that she told
To hide her face from her shame
Leaving that poor mockingbird
In silence
Witnessed by lord he told the truth
Laying there in silence
Only he and the lord knew the truth
