Sergeant Blackman
A Royal Marine

Convicted for ******
Sentenced to ten years

He shot an injured insurgent
They came upon him
And were going to
Call in a helicopter
Or had called one in

He told his comrades
Not a word
That is was against
The Geneva Convention

One shot
And the Taliban insurgent
Was dead

Sergeant Blackman
Saw his friends die
The Taliban are ruthless
And evil

I can't even imagine
The hatred one would
Have for them
After fighting them
For that long

I hate them very much
And I've never
Been to Afghanistan

Still, he should have
Had him evacuated

Or shot him from a distance
Before they came upon him

It was a violation
Of the Geneva Convention

Sergeant Blackman will serve
Ten years

American Drone pilots
Who **** innocents
Are not brought to trial

Some people feel as though
He has been made
Into a scapegoat

I understand
Why you did it
Sergeant Blackman

Thank you for your service
I hope you killed many Taliban
During your service there

The Taliban do not respect innocent life
They are evil
