I Can'T Breathe

I Can't Breathe I can't breathe when truth is choked out can not stand by and not toss truth with a shout I can't fathom the mind it does take to ignore truth and race onward with a fake Story that is so easy to rightly disprove promote a lie to get going such a violent move Anything goes to run such a political scam I reject this fraud with all that I am Win battles with truth as your shield deceitful tactics will never force right to yield A man dies, find out the true medical cause spinning yarns gives decent folks time to pause Ponder the reason hatred thrives on bold lies Hate finds fertile ground whenever truth dies Robert Lindley 12-08-2014 note. An honest person, a person with integrity will find the truth before joining the bandwagon of lies. Sad that a man died because of a stupid law but dying because of bad health issues is not murder by police. Truth is no choke hold was used. "I can't breathe truth did so moan, darkness gloats as light has now gone Lying blade cuts like a razor knife, wounds sought to stir hatred and strife!" A SHAME THAT THE LEADING BLOG AUTHOR HERE SCREAMING ON THIS SUBJECT (ASKING FOR POEMS) HAS ME BLOCKED FROM REPLYING THERE ABOUT MY POEM ON THE SUBJECT. I guess banning truth goes in with the agenda for some , eh?

Its sad that the police have an "us and them" mentality, they are there to serve and protect, however, I agree with you 100% here, it seems that not only in this case but a few, people dont really care of the facts. I wonder where all the common sense has gone?

Robert, A masterfully articulated piece here!! What you've described is definitely oh so true -- no matter how the media chooses to spin what happened. You've laid the situation bare for all to see and to understand. A most solid "7" here!! Best Always, Gary
