All honesty, mental illness affects many.
This we all be willing to admit.
But some are mastering the tricks of avoiding justice.
How?
By using the mental illness excuse.
We seeing in the news.
And more so by what gender?
And what racial group?

It long been a staple of the wealthy to use tricks?
Now, we seeing the middle class mastering the tricks.
Trying to keep that child out of prison by claiming mental illness.

Multiple killings, from them at work?
Using racial hatred to **** many within the church.
And off course in the school.
And when facing punishment from prosecutors and judges.
There you hear about their mental illness.

We were trying to get him/her help?
Still containing the ownership of many weapons.
Others, laugh loudly with truth.

If they without use this excuse?
Innocent guilt and prison they will see.
And they probably the one most in need.

Now, to those crying to not build more prison?
Just remember all killers don't have a mental illness.
