George Floyd
Injustice by those who should provide justice
They serve to protect you and me and everyone
The weight on their shoulders, it must be a ton
Without rules and regulations society wouldn't function
But the reality, the law and human error often come to a junction
When the law says this and we do that
It can often lead to a fight or an unwanted spat
And often the law can be a matter of opinions
Prescribed by the rich and powerful dominions
And while we know the world is a scary place
We look to the police to bring justice, this is always the case
These words aren't meant to discourage the good you do
But merely express that you have to think things through
We understand that this is easier said than done
But after all your training, are you ready to carry a gun
While there are so many of you that are good within
There are also some of you that continue to commit sin
There have been numerous cases of judgement error
Don't you see that your power can create so much terror
For a man should be put to trial and a judgement should be reached
You are officially there to arrange a court date, otherwise the law is breached
Self defence is a different kettle of fish
To have you risk your life is no one's wish
But what happens when the arrest is all but done?
Will you still think about pulling the trigger of that gun
A knee to the neck while your colleagues have it all under control
Why do you continue to press, do you have no soul?
You are not the judge, the jury and definitely not there to execute
You've done your job, let this be the last dispute
And so another person is senselessly lost
The injustice continues, no matter the cost
And while civilians continue to scream and shout
Who will be next victim of a merciless clout
