2020/08/27 ~ A Man Shot

Twas nigh on September's beginning
When a man in the back, seven times was shot.
Racial injustice, in the streets, they did cry,
For an armed criminal wanted by law and by cop.

Nigh on a million was raised for this man.
Shot for being black is what they did say.
Riots and fires breaking out everywhere
All in support of racial justice, they claim.

When will they open their blind eyes and see
Just what they are doing to society?
Until they do, forever will I speak,
And pray they don't get between my voice and me.
