That thin blue line

The death of Freddy Grey

That line

The line has been

Drawn in the sand

Between what is right

And what is wrong

Standing there

With their hands

In the air

Are the huddling masses

Fed up with

The injustices of the day

You think it was all solved

In the civil rights era

But the echoes

Of the past

Ring true to this very day

That line

That thin blue line

Has been drawn in the sand

And promptly

The masses stepped

Right the fuck over it

What cha think about that

You who watch safely

From your couch

While bricks and fire fly

And chaos reigns

Murder was claimed

And murder it shall remain

Raise your hands in his name

Rise up to the death

Of Freddy Grey

    As you sit there watching the excitement from the comfort and safety of your own homes remember a man was sentenced to death without the due process that our constitution affords us. Freddy Grey was murdered by the same people who were hired to make their community safe. Those officers should by the very nature of their job be held to a higher standard. Don't let the circus distract from what really happened...A man without jury or trial was murdered while in police custody. 

    We should be angry, the man,Freddy Grey, committed no capital crime, had no trial, was not judged by a jury of his peers. He should be in the history books as the spark that lit the fire's of change. The shield worn on those officers chests should have stood for justice not murder. Grieve with his family and his community. 

    And to those who try to blame the victim, Freddy Grey, for his own murder...for shame, he committed no crime worthy of his death!
