The body count keeps Rising My people are Dying Correction, Our people are Dying Am i wrong Is it only our people when we Stand And sing that Song Land of the Free home of the Brave Are we brave when we shoot an UNARMED Man And sen him to an early Grave Stop, Don't move, and put your hands up Hi Even when we comply We get shot and filmed so the world can watch us Die No matter how clear the Situation We still get fed some Explanation Its usually some form of Fabrication By a man in a badge that promises an Investigation On other Men with Badges, That are usually Caucasian So surprise surprise "there's no Indication" Even though as a Nation We know what we Saw Another reality episode of the Law Protecting the Law

Clifford, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
