Cry Foul Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Cry Foul

Rating: 5.0


I cried when I saw the killing
And I couldn't stop the tearing
I weep for the loss of a being
And for such horrendous policing

I scream at the flagrant profiling
In the guise of bad cops bullying
I denounce the abuse of power
Needing more and more to holler

I see the anger in your face
Just because of color and race
I feel your pitiful rage
Worse than animal in a cage

I taste the cold blood on your corrupt hands
When he can no longer give in to your demands
I hear the haunting sound of gun fire
Disgusted with your sole gun for hire

Edward, it's hard to believe that a cold blood killing could be at the hands of a cop. To serve and protect? ? ?

It's a heart touching sad story expertly narrated in a great poem. A confronting piece depicting savagery. Piece be onto good men like you.
