Power
The non-discrete discrimination
Towards the citizens they sworn to protect
“On the ground!“ they Roar
with a single cry
So simple its cliche
lives are changed,
Only for the worst though
it would seem
What appears to be
a painless demand
causes more suffering
than the crime committed
From the brainwashed minds
Of the man in blue
Unreasonable.
Unexcusable.
The method of Justice turned
unjust
from the ear piercing scream
Mixed with the illumination of
Red and blue that touches
The gold medallion
earned through oath
turns into
a drug called Power
which they abused for a high
that lets deep rooted hatred
Cloud their judgment
A high that
Affects the eyes
As it conveys a beast
Rapidly snarling
Fur as poofy cotton fluff
Yet darker than crow feathers
With its exposed skin
A tone only to be compared
To the likes of
Peanut butter.
But in reality
Is a boy
Who’s pupil are dilate
Heart beating drums of righteousness
From the cell placed over him
From the birth of the ones
Before him
Before a man named
liberty
Took them away from the
Crowns and jewels that was
The royalty of their homeland
He moves
A slight twitch in his arms
as
His reflexes jump
Sensing immediate danger
But the man off power
Sees the beast charge
An attack that destroys
The body and mind
One that fuels a burning rage
That has been within from birth
Liberty
The decedent of power that
Mixes creating a source of energy
That is enough to cause the same hurt
Through the embodiment of the drugs abuser
BANG
A sound only to be described by that of
A firework that fills the sky
With sparks
But instead fills it with angels
As a soul hand crafted for greatness
Is destroyed yet again by the hatred of power
as a simple stroll
turns deadly at the
man with the skin of Kings
becomes a pawn
to a crooked system
a flawed system a rigged system
our system
the one we allow
to destroy us
from within.
The system helped created
By the people they destroy
As with every cry
Suppressed by media
And every public outrage
And walk and shout
That combats power
Runs dry as its faucet
Loses maintenance
Allowing power
To gain control once more
Allows its cycle run its course
once more
