Accountability

When positions of authority Blatantly abuse their power Telling you what you’re seeing Isn’t what it appears to be We need accountability. When the murderers wear badges But skip the silver bracelets And orange jumpsuits and Remain free to kill again There should be accountability. Too much has gone on For too long to too many Man’s law isn’t enough. So justice can truly be served Why isn’t there accountability? We shouldn’t have to fight Day in and day out Simply for the right to breathe We’re all human beings Yet there’s no real accountability. I pray each night for lives lost At the hands of those Who had sworn to protect I pray God comes and restores order So there will be accountability. Something’s gotta give. © 6/27/20 JJSmalls
