Three Fingernails

Complicit implicit in torture
Human rights abused excuses used
Kept in cages appalling conditions
Under the cover you call rendition

Your cloak and dagger policies
Dark,wrapped up in secrecy
Your constant lies,your denial
Locked away without a trial

What better way to force confession
Electricity,pliers,mind transgression
Tied,strapped to a waterboard
A fear of drowning,rest assured

Maybe there's a better way
To treat those accused of heinous crimes
I can't see that abuse and torture
Has any place in modern times

Three fingernails
Pulled one by one
Three fingernails
Our work is done
