Ode To Eric Garner

by Rodger L. Hilliard

Bull Connor wannabes, do as they please. 

Under the color of law... so forget all about what you think you saw.

Even still, what you saw is what you saw... but not against the law

It doesn’t matter... ... 

Because you don’t matter, because I don’t matter, because we don’t matter.

So what is...The Matter?  

"I can’t breathe!" "I can’t breathe!"

Coward ass DA’s protects the coward ass cop,

Seen it all before, will it ever stop? 

Same old, same old... ... like we didn’t already know.

This ain’t no new news, for me and my kin.  

This ain’t no new news, for me and my skin.

1960’s... all over again!

A deep dark ugly history repeating itself, 

The real time, media powered revelation of America.... 

defeating itself.

"I can’t breathe!" "I can’t breathe!"
