Musings of an Aspiring Author and Poet
in
To protect and serve
Whole communities in fear
Race should not matter
But it does and always has
More so in this day and age
Policing has changed
More vicious, less tolerant
They’re militarized
Controlling people by fear
Instead of using respect
When did this happen
Jackboots on the peoples necks
Tanks in city streets
Science fiction is now real
Welcome to the brave new world

Thank you so much Jueseppi for the kind re-blog…I’m very glad that you liked my piece.
Mr. Orwell would appreciate this piece
I think he would…look it’s 1984 although a bit late.
Unbelievable & scary.
It certainly is. Our friends and neighbors in so many places are being targeted (profiled) by our police departments because of the color of their skin, their race or their religious affiliations. This is wrong and I had hoped that we were on a better course, but obviously in so many places this is not the case. I am not anti-police by any means, but I believe that they need to be representatives of the communities they serve and live by the motto “To Protect and Server” and in so many cases that is not happening.
