1st Heard On Poetrysoup - Atlantaser City

Atlanta is better described these days as: A T L A N T A S E R 1. Because Rayshard Brooks was killed for being tough enough - & drunk but innocent & cooperative with cops - yet wresting the offensively deployed taser; 2. The ex-cop was mean enough to kill to get the TASER back, rather than confess to his superior the facts re. his call to Wendy's about a car in their Drive Thru (The man was drunk but wise enough to want to eat, sadly he did not get his food and some sobriety back, just last winks before being killed); 3. I will NOT coddle all those apologists for slavery, colonialism, abortion - even of Rayshard Brooks - because killing a baby & Rayshard Brooks is the same in the Bible: all LIFE matters. If u wish to remain in denial & write sick love poems - with not even courage to watch police videos, but all others - that is your freedom. 'wish Rasyshard Brooks & George Floyd were allowed their freedom & day in court before being executed in the streets by your heroes. 4. Americans just want to be told they are great. Even that God alone is great. I taught Civil War courses in Lynchburg Virginia, in the South, where Lincoln is hated even today. You try that as a non-white Professor! I had the balls, thank you Jesus. I know the Lincoln will not want to teach you policing. Maybe Washington would, he was a SURVEYOR - he surveyed the Indian lands in the Ohio Valley & coveted them. The British said No, you have the 13 colonies ... enough is enough. The Indians got our promise to have their lands in the Ohio Valley. George and company (Yes, there were companies called Virginia Company of Ohio before the Revolution of 1776). FREEDOM for USA meant no lands assured to Indian First Nations in North America. "I came, I surveyed, I stole & killed many witnesses!" That's greatness? shalom, shalom (Yes, I forgive because Jesus forgave me. But U?)

Washington was also a slave owner and so were nearly all the founding fathers. The history taught to most Americans is sadly mostly a fairy tale. If Rayshard Brooks had been white, it is likely he would be alive. He probably would have been ticketed for trespassing on Wendy's property. His car would have been towed, and he would have been driven home. Thank you my friend. Shalom! Shalom!
