Police brutality Poems
Mama's Son
by Graham Ereks
'I'll be back soonest', he said to mama blithely,
Nescient of the state's cannibalistic hostility.
How can mama take this inhumanity likely?
Tear-drops every day, thanks to brutality.
Bloodthirsty men-in-black, liveried omnipresent
Ambassadors of anarchy, never at all decent.
Haranguers of licitness, promoters of inequity,
Vampires they are,for they are an insignia of nonentity.

Look at what you did, I have no voice
Bullet to the neck I hope you cool with this choice
He ain’t leaving this neighborhood, ain’t that what you said
“Oh Shit”, now look at me I’m dead
You didn’t even give me a chance to resist arrest
But you want to walk around with that badge on your chest
You dragged me on the ground, does that make you feel good
You took my life away and you did it in my hood
You said you felt threatened so I guess it’s okay
You get to go home and live to see another day
