Police and Snipers
Whatever was in their heads
May have pushed them over the edge
What they call fear
Means turning a deaf ear
Than becoming nebulous about the facts
When their motive was clear
Grief has no color but it has many names
Your grief, my grief and their grief is all the same
If we disagree with the one who’s wearing a badge
It doesn’t mean that the badge wearer words will be the last
THE LAW
ALL are PRESUMED INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty
That means no bodies should be lying dead in the streets
With a toe-tag of defeat
Who made the police the judge and jury?
Who made the snipers minds blind with fury?
Sane people know right from wrong
And wrong cannot be justified, It Cannot be justified
By either side
How long, how long will this go on?
I hear the Lord saying “Not long”
