Prisoner's Justice Day, August 10th.

One day a year

It's the simplest of sacrifice

To give up eating food

For one day and one night

It's a minimal tribute to pay

A single day fast

Men have died defending your rights

And you act like one day is too much to ask

You try to justify yourselves

And just not eat what the jail supplied

But I think you're missing the point here fellows

And lack respect for those who died

I don't know where you got your thinking

I've never seen candy bars at a hunger strike

If there is one thing I am greatful for today

I'm glad it wasn't you defending our rights

But whatever, I don't want to judge you

I think most of you don't even know

Why it is that your belly stays empty

You just fall in line because someone else says so
