Looters Is Such a Judgmental Term

By Elton Camp

Oh my, supplies are running low
On another “shopping” trip they go

Give the front windows a smash
Then it’s snatch, grab and dash

The store owner’s a man they know
It’s a place where they regularly go

His means of living to destroy
They act like they much enjoy

Employee jobs may well disappear
The store won’t reopen, they hear

Yet, they’re doing what they should 
Destroying their own neighborhood

Getting due revenge on a rogue cop
To unjustified violence, putting a stop

This is the very way to do it
So they will hop right to it

Who dares to call it greed
Just to take what they need

Thus, these “undocumented shoppers”
Serve warning to those racist coppers
