Edison High School And Police Brutality

Edison High School And Police Brutality

A Poem by The Lovely Sound Of Crashing
"

So when I first woke up today, I turned on the TV and there was this riot going on at Edison High School. Students claimed they were having a "peaceful" protest and the police came and started mistreating them. It ended up turning into a big rio

"
First thing I hear when I turn on the tube,
Is minorities being attacked by police on the news.
Edison High School, surrounded by cop cars.
Students with bruises and scars,
Shoved in the back seats by people who pack heat!
The popo's was running in with riot gear,
While some girl was in tears.
Interviewed, she started talking about her feelings of fear,
And how she saw police pepper spray and baton anyone near!
It was chaos!
A disturbance of peace...
"It's all at ease!" said the police.
The students were beat like beast,
Cuffed as if the men in black had the beast on a leash.
People were hopping and limpin outta that building-
And I'm just wondering "How could they do this to children..."
The story seems complicated and flipped,
By both sides... I wonder how the news is gonna show it.
Will the minorities who wanted things to change,
Be depicted as insane and deranged?
Are they going to be the one's to blame,
Or will the teachers be the one's to feel the flame?
I noticed they was talking about how the principal or school staff,
Was said to be choking a students a*s!
What the hell is going on?
Riots to bombs,
Schools are turning into another Vietnam!
So many teachers are slipping up and treating their students like s**t,
And now the kids want some a*s to get kicked!
Damn...
The world seems to be getting sucked into a fall of grace,
The youth of our society is being tasered and maced in the face!
And everyday it seems to be getting worst,
I wonder if anyone knows the damage of the hurt?

Well rendered into a tasty bit of rhyming life!
I wish all news flashes had this flurish
Thanks for the share!
I agree with what you feel, just the other day my wife decided to home school our nine year old daughter, after the principle raised her voice to my child trying to get her to admit guilt, when she wasn't guilty! It's like the salem witch trial all over again!
Great Job!
