Race Targeted Murders: A Bitter Lingering Legacy Poem by Terence George Craddock

year date: July 2016
continent location: North America
country location: mainland USA

Barack is silent and does nothing
while white police officers wear
their immunity police uniforms

execute innocent black victims
point blank with multiple gun shots
then are rewarded with paid leave

while the incident is investigated
until murders killers in police uniforms
are seemingly routinely exonerated;

also notice that white victims
of terrorist bombs or shootings
are honoured with bridges buildings

lit up with lights at night
even rainbow colours for pulse victims
but if they are not from west

or European NATO culture countries
if they are 44 killed Istanbul bomb victims
or 340 killed Karrada Iraqi bomb victims

from Bagdad then no buildings are lit with light;

this teaches us that colour nationality counts
in death all are not equal some may be executed
with immunity but did not the death of six

million Jews and half a million gypsies
slaughtered with factory machine efficiency
not already on horrific scale teach us this?

the same immoral monsters
with different uniforms
faces are still persecuting

murdering the innocent
unless we physically intervene
or plea voice mass protest

stop thugs they will continue
we cannot offer racists murderers killers
an immunity of indifference
