Black or Blue
By Mason Selby
Mom’s spaghetti
Kid so young, beat to confetti
But the justice ain’t given,
while the cop forgiven
Victims beaten and treated like trash
Crosses being burnt to an ash
Story after story will pass, but still no answer appears
Jury after jury, yet freedom ain’t here.
The issue is complicated, yet so crystal clear.
See no consequences, while riots cheer.
But leave them alone, in a separate set of home
Do Black lives matter
or
Blue lives matter?
Blame it on them, blame it on you,
If we treated others like brothers, we would be less blue
Trial after trial, case after case.
But all those lawyers can’t fix his broken face.
Do Black lives matter
or
Blue lives matter?
Reading Miranda rights, causing a prison fight.
Eyes bruised can’t see a sight, but the system says it is quite alright.
Young or old
From 14 to 40
Till and Crutcher
Bloody like a butcher
Do it again, do it some more.
The body was found by the shore.
Fought by Pac, Cube and Dre
But it seems brutality is here to stay
And if I had on task to help
Then I’d ask myself
Do Black lives matter
or
Blue lives matter?
