Police and Snipers

Whatever was in their heads May have pushed them over the edge What they call fear Means turning a deaf ear Than becoming nebulous about the facts When their motive was clear Grief has no color but it has many names Your grief, my grief and their grief is all the same If we disagree with the one who’s wearing a badge It doesn’t mean that the badge wearer words will be the last THE LAW ALL are PRESUMED INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty That means no bodies should be lying dead in the streets With a toe-tag of defeat Who made the police the judge and jury? Who made the snipers minds blind with fury? Sane people know right from wrong And wrong cannot be justified, It Cannot be justified By either side How long, how long will this go on? I hear the Lord saying “Not long”
