Not Syncednever spent a night in jail,
-
Not Syncednever had a loved one thrown
into the back of a squad car -
Not Syncedor behind bars,

Not Syncedor be at the mercy of a scary,
confusing system -
Not Syncedthat at best sees them with indifference,
-
Not Syncedand at worst as a monstrous.

more people than any other nation -
Not Syncedon the planet.
