Eyewitness News

by nomi338

Eyewitness of the news, do not like what I see
Televised images, are upsetting to me
Body on the ground, not moving, could he be dead?
The evidence contradicts, what the police said

Is this a policeman, or is he an outlaw
I really have a problem, with what I just saw
His actions seem like torture, more than just restraint
The substance on the ground, looks like spreading red paint

Looks like another death, by an arresting cop.
When will these public executions, ever stop
Feels like a thousand miles, in protest i have marched
My feet are sore from walking, and my throat is parched

Praying for an answer, right now I'm filled with doubt
Some people in my country want me to get out
I was born and raised here, so to them I say no
You don't want to live with me, maybe you should go
