They stand there in peace
Carrying the “weapons” of words and hands
Speaking prayers aloud or in silence
Looking to stop the long black snake
Because where there is danger in the world
There are protectors standing…
You bring pepper spray, rubber bullets and attack dogs
Unleashing violence and harm in response
Swinging batons with harmful intent
Demanding subservience to your methods
Because whatever you think you are getting away with
There are people watching…
Many brought their bodies to offer
Upon the burning pyre of your anger and hate
Others brought cameras and microphones
To record your vicious actions
Because no matter where you think you are
The world is watching….
The winds carry a mournful sound today
A song for those injured from your actions
But soon the wind will howl a different tune
One of retribution, anger and a cry for justice
Because no matter who you think is watching
The Gods certainly are…

Thank you for posting this. It captures the sense of the issue really well.
Would you mind having it posted on the Dallas Peace and Justice Center site? We have been working on the issue,

So long as it remains attributed to “Robin Birchleaf” (that’s me) I have no problem with it being shared anywhere at all.
