Blue Ribbon
Please no more ambush on our men and women in blue.
It is not Justice only revenge and does nothing good for you.
You are stealing the innocent on our streets, as we sit back and cry.
Leaving wives, husbands, children and friends grieving good bye.
Someone may have done you harm, but random attacks don’t fix it.
There is no purpose to be filled, the candle burnt when it was lit.
Tears flow in streets from your actions, flowers for memorials grown.
These officers work to keep us safe, now work broken losing their own.
Please stop and think, just for a moment, you can turn that page
Any way better for your voice to be heard, instead of this heartless rage.
**I have tied a blue ribbon on a tree, started by the wives of the fallen ones.
It is time to support them any way we can. If we don’t, this evil has won.
