Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Double Vision

He's innocent because he was trained to shoot in cases precisely like this

He's guilty because he was trained to shoot in cases precisely like this

   Same tragedy
   Same victim
   Same killer
   Same
   Same
   Same

Different eyes trained on the target

Freddie Robinson Jr. April 21, 2021 at 12:27 PM A unique way of describing reality, Gershon. Very thought-provoking, my dear friend. Love and more love always. Gershon Wolf April 21, 2021 at 2:35 PM Gosh. Didn't realize you've had COVID. That's terrible... I hope you stay fully recovered forever. Healing and Hope, Gershon Freddie Robinson Jr. April 21, 2021 at 12:29 PM Thank God, I'm finally feeling well. Been recovering from Covid-19. God is truly merciful to a sinner like me. Love and peace forever, my brother.

Line Gauthier April 20, 2021 at 5:53 AM Double vision Double standards ~ Gershon Wolf April 20, 2021 at 3:43 PM Either double vision -- or crossed eyes. lol. Thanks, Line.

Joseph P. DiMino April 20, 2021 at 3:11 AM Great write! I get it. What he isn't is racist -- And what he will not receive is true justice devoid of mob opinions and politics.... Gershon Wolf April 20, 2021 at 3:47 PM A disturbing thing that few have the courage to mention: Why has the media made a giant out of George Floyd, a common criminal with a rap sheet as long as my arm, who was trying to pass off a $20 bill at a 7-11?! -- I guess there is no good answer to that question, is there? ~ Take care, Joe.
