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
