Protest Poem
by Damien The criminal injustice system Full of lies, misconception and deception A man that could be innocent, but nobody is with him Don’t get me wrong the accuser should be given faith But there are two sides to every story Discrimination and straight up bias Ending lives not quick but gory No wonder people run when those flashing lights meet their eyes We need a new age Atticus Ethical policing Mental training for those who decide the future of us Injustice decreasing It’s draining the fear of the corrupt fuzz After hundreds of years haven’t we had enough Criminals are free, while the innocent are locked away Manipulating the system, lying under oath Ruining someone’s life till they can no longer cope Destruction of reputation All because of one statement The criminal “justice” system or what’s left of it. Damien is a sophomore. He wrote this poem for Ms. Barbour's Poetry Today Elective. He enjoys writing music in his spare time.
