Best Brutality Poems

It was the spring of ‘74 when my student peers and I
were on the tail end of a group excursion  
through southern Spain, across Gibraltar’s Strait
and into the exotic northern tip of Africa.
I remember lots of greenery and mountains
and the fascinating sights and sounds...

Police brutality 
should not be 
ignored, but 
exposed.

Excessive force 
is being used on
innocent civilians 
over petty ****.

Protect And Serve
they pledge, feels 
more like a purge 
instead.

Hot headed cops
above the law, 
breaking the laws 
they sworn to uphold.

Seems more like 
thugs dressed in 
uniforms.

I see them...

B ruised by bitter blows
R age uncontrolled, bestowed
U nable to break free, I cringe
T error terrifies… yet again…yet again
A rsenal of belittling weaponry, employed
L ayer upon layer, neglect enshrouds
I solation from the questioning world, enforced
Y ou are brutally brutal…yet again…yet again

Defeating the Brutality 

In a civilized world where people,
Even share the grief of their enemies
And write Poems and Songs 
When they are in pains and 
Are surrounded by sorrowful happenings. 

The soldiers of Pakistan army
Have beheaded the Indian soldiers
In disguise and have eloped
In the darkness...

It's hard to see a young
unarmed man die in the 
hands of the police...

Doesn't matter what 
color of your skin is,
or if he's a criminal 
or not.

If he's not holding up
a gun, then shooting 
him to death is murder.

I understand being 
a cop is dangerous,...

I’ve noticed the popular opinion-
Aided, of course, by all forms of media
From novelizations to song lyrics-
That high school boys
Are cuter, smarter, and nicer.
Now, I’ll be the very first to admit
That they get significantly
More physically appealing.
And I suppose they do get smarter...
At playing you.
Nice, though?
I can...

Their voices shout from all directions,
one sprays me in the face with liquid fire,
another kicks and stomps at my back and legs.

They beat another with their fists
pounding at his soft flesh like drums,
leaving him on the edge of life.

The taste of copper lingered on my...

Adjacent to Magic Mr. Coffee
Miss Sunbeam sits anxiously
atop the frigid Ms. Frigidaire
Grab two of her offspring
She protests perniciously
and shrieks ‘Kidnapper!!’

Madame Cuisinart murmurs 
‘C’mon, right here in my slots
Oooh! Yes, you NAUGHTY boy’
Shove down her handle and hear
one victim exclaim to the other:
‘Hey bro, I think...

Knew a nasty lady named Matilda
Her features resembled that of a gorilla
Not a nice personality
Was known for brutality
Pushed li'l old ladies down just for the thrilla

If we have humanity it means we are human ,
If we have brutality it means we are opposite of human.
Humanity helps us to get others solidarity,
But brutality helps us to be nasty.
Humanity and brutality can never walk together,
If humanity could defeat brutality our life will...

a knee, a neck, a symbol, a tool
the segregationist would be proud

fighting to breathe is a fight where 
Vegas is covering all odds

let's lay our money and him down
the spittle, the pool on the ground
does not need to be explained, cleaned or vilified

this is America...

"Beware Of the Ides of the men on black"
The judges and jurors of our fates, blink.
Every time we will, they will reform it
They even gave them new uniforms
But they preferred the black 'It suits them mos'
And more guns,lesser humanity.

The Leaders of tomorrow are forbidden from...

Tell me why I heard someone once say that we were all equal regardless of race.
But every time I turn on the T.V. I see people getting shot up all over the place. 
Black, white, red, and mixed aren't we all supposed to be treated...

Dissenters dominate the streets,
	The public dominion of demonstrations.
This POTUS threatens military domination.
             Just forget the pesky First Amendment.
Sowing seeds of civil war

long after a full moon 
had thrown its arms around the sky
I stood with Al Stone 
ignoring the futility in our lives
adolescence gave way to manhood
or so we like to believe
our ideology stifled 
from a serious lack of dreams
with the care of a midwife 
removing...
