The Silent Guard

Title: The Silent Guard

In a realm of justice concealed,
A sin of silence, truths concealed.
Shamed Post Office law chief, he spoke,
To shield the firm, his honor broke.

A faulty IT system’s grip,
Ensnares the innocents, hearts drip.
Suppressed investigation’s plea,
To safeguard the firm, truth set free.

Grit its teeth, the law chief urged,
Prosecute the people, truth purged.
But within the depths, a conscience stirs,
The weight of lies, the truth it blurs.

A company protected, shadows reign,
While innocent lives bear unjust pain.
Yet the whispers of justice won’t subside,
For truth forever seeks to abide.

The tainted cloak of power fades,
Revealing cracks, as light cascades.
Inevitable, the dawn of truth,
Shattering the shield of uncouth.

The post office, a symbol of trust,
Betrayed by silence, truth’s robust.
A lesson taught, a reckoning nears,
For in transparency, justice appears.
