[hometext] => I just wanted to get this off my chest!
[bodytext] => Every day I am sickened and confused by what I read and see in the news, get angry but I try not to let it show. But an image lingers in my mind and hard as I try I just can't let it go. I see a young boy, lifeless as a rag doll slammed down face first onto a car and then he is just as brutally punched in the face. His hands have been securely shackled behind him the entire time, his only crime being African American is clearly once again the case. The reporter who says the officer is seen "roughing up" the boy must be paraphrasing, and doing a bad job of it in my eyes. Well I too would like to paraphrase because I think the term "assault and battery" is the one that better applies. Justice is not legally blind and I suspect every once in a while she lifts that blindfold up enough to sneak a little peek. Anyway, that's just my opinion for what it's worth and thanks for allowing my mind to speak.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
