#badges
They think that cos they wearing badges that
its power, feeling it be like they wild west.
thinking they catching outlaws.
When they the ones letting the shots hit unarmed
hands on his head.
but they not moving as he shouted gun.
It wasn't even a mobile, they just trigger happy
in blue as the family was in black.
Tears aren't bringing his last word back,
Mum, Daddy,
last cherished thought his baby girl.
Tears fell silent as they had knees on his neck,
what the **** he dead
yet you thinking he needs cuffs,
morality took a side step.
No one is on their knee no more,
hands held at height trying
to reach the fallen to show that they
still being reached for.
I promise we ain't forgetting any fallen,
we'll reach high walking the streets.
They ain't holding pistols to this many.
Hands-on heads showing peaceful metaphors,
we shouldn't have to be scared
of a badge that's meant to protect
not a knee on a neck.
Or a gunshot on an unarmed person,
due to his demographical heritage.
another fell like a tree in a forest.
But every flower has a camera and nothing
falls silently anymore.
