Notes About The Poem

Fallen Heroes 1

Swollen eyes trickle of tears

                                        Swells of pride hence denied

                                     Cry me mo tears shed me mo light

                                               Shots raining out

                                      Nowhere to run nowhere to hide

                                              Ballistically speaking 

                                           Blown away by projectiles

                                              Plunged deep within

                                         Multiplying seeds of corruption

                                                 seeds of death

                                              Whom do we trust 

                                            whom do we look up to
   
                                                   LAPD ,NYPD

                                          Or perhaps Mayberry RFD

                                      No way Jose so she'd me mo light

                                          True true no doubt no doubt

                                           Guns and roses is the tune

                                           Let the procession begin

                                             All Mourners expected

                                               the bugle sounds

                                                   Time is here 

                                                    So stand up

                                              Led the tabernacle in

                                     Sing sing a song sing sing Mo blues 

                                          Cry me a river cry me a river

                                                 Cry me a river ...

                                                      over you

Thank you for sharing this wonderful and thought provoking poem. Truly there is nothing frustrating like not knowing who to trust when people who are tasked to protect their citizens are corrupt and irresponsible.
