Suspicious Activities Will Be Reported

Suspicious Activities Will Be Reported

By Elton Camp

Neighborhood watch, in theory, is okay
But its role it can too easily overplay

If they see a man with a mask on his face,
To call in the authorities they should race

Or if a man is seen with a gun in his hand
That he’ll be reported we can understand

Certainly a man luring some child away
Should be turned in without any delay

But good judgment watchers sure do lack
If “suspicious” is defined as being black

Just because a man’s skin isn’t white,
To call him a menace simply isn’t right

What’s the next thing that they may do?
“Police come quick for we just saw a Jew.”
