The Blue Line

The Blue Line What a week for the international press Brexit and its endless drips of small minded politics The French winning against Germany at last A vindication of unsolved hatred To top it up the murder of five police officers In Texas No doubt there will be a liberal understanding Black people have been killed by the police So it is ok then. Not so, there is no excuse for murder There is nothing here to understand. The cities of America are awash with arms It is the citizens right to bear arms They fear the government may turn against them The eagle of war has come home US troops have killed many civilians in Afghanistan When people are disrespected When people are seen as inferior, The soul is poisoned And uniformed men are killed in Texas Is it poetic justice?
