The Grand Jury Faces a Dilemma
By Elton Camp
“Damned if they do, damned if they don’t”
Whatever, the group must anticipate taunt
White, yellow, black or brown
Either way some of ’em will frown
“A cop got by with murder again!
Against pigs, there’s no way to win.”
“He didn’t really do a wrong thing.
It’s a mistake, charges to bring!”
When the decision is made known
Let’s hope good judgment’s shown
Imagine serving on that grand jury
Your decision’s certain to bring fury
Will any good come from this escapade?
Only more violence and division, I’m afraid
