Police Militarization Poem by James McLain

The militarization of the police
began when the people were taught to believe
they were the disease.
Recently with a history of American persecutions,
websites of fear concerning sex and children
and non afordable programs,
discriminatory laws, exile, modern housing projects
leading to the total annihilation of the poor, our mentally Ill
and it's systematic planning and the lack of hard criticism
concerning America and it's unwise expansion
of Law Enforcement
replacing good judgement
with pharmaceutical drugs and Anxiety
leading to a certain finality and our premature death.
