Black Lives Matter 2: (June 8th,2020) Poem by DM W

'…let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! ' (Amos 5: 24)

Senior police officer Dame Cressida Rose Dick
Is another government lackey who makes me sick.
She commanded the botched operation that led
To the fatal shooting of J.C.M: 7 bullets ripped through his head.
She cannot comprehend the nature of current protests.
Yet people are incredibly angry and will not rest;
Until justice is won. Perhaps the tide is now turning.
Will we soon see pompous Westminster palace burning?
For some see it as a pillar of imperial might
That sows division between black and white.
In Bristol, yesterday, a slave trader statue was torn down
And thrown into the harbour. Racists should get out of town!
