Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
A portrait of distressed mind seeing police brutality.

A chapter in the book Random Reflections.

Humanity Weeps.

by Niyuta

I
Where is the humanity gone?
Angels or the Lucifer's keens
Men and women in police uniform
Who can foresee, who could they be?
II
To solve a crime, give up their lives
Stand in line of fire to save a life,
Then in next moment turn violent
Beat a colored man or shoot a child.
III
Colorless skin, filled with arrogance.
World of colored filled with hate,
Both at each other's throat and
The humanity, the real victim, weeps




I watched a video of White Policeman attacking a young black man and was distressed to see. Being a non white myself and having worked with men in uniform; I have seen the both qualities in Police persons. This poem is the product of those mixed emotions.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
