The Color Blue
The Color Blue
© Ben Burton
The press is pushing hard
Promoting racial animus
Creating a canard
Like Rosa Parks had missed the bus
The first black President
Who should have made ol' Martin proud
Instead, it came to this
Obama cannot shut his mouth
When color is involved
He opens up and plows right in
The only thing resolved
His pure disdain for white-skinned men
And now we've reached the point
The tipping point of sanity
When inmates from the joint
Are more revered than the police
For socialism feeds
On being arrogant and smug
Emotional deceit
Promoting hate disguised as love
They've managed to create
A straw man of young Michael Brown
Speak truth, you denigrate
Excuse to loot and burn 'em down
For Brown was black, not white
Unarmed, but shot at least six times
Yet who began the fight?
Don't shoot, hands up, scam alibi
So now the leftist loons
Handcuff those who protect and serve
The cops had best not shoot
No matter if it is deserved
But therein lies the rub
What is a lawman sworn to do?
Inside his thankless club
There's just one color, it is blue
