[title] => WHO PROTECTS US FROM YOU????

[hometext] => THIS IS MY IDEA OF 'MY' UNCLE SAM
[bodytext] => You were put here to protect us But who protects us from you? Every time you say "That's illegal" Doesn't mean that that's true Your authority's never questioned No-one questions you If I hit you I'll be killed But you hit me? I can sue Lookin' through my history book I've watched you as you grew Killin' blacks and callin' it the law (Bo! Bo! Bo!) And worshipping Jesus too There was a time when a black man Couldn't be down wit' your crew Now you want all the help you can get Scared? Well ain't that true You were put here to protect us But who protects us from you? Or should I say, who are you protecting? The rich? the poor? Who? It seems that when you walk the ghetto You walk wit' your own point of view You judge a man by the car he drives Or if his hat match his shoe Well, back in the days of Sherlock Holmes A man was judged by a clue Now he's judged by if he's Spanish, Black, Italian or Jew So do not kick my door down and tie me up While my wife cooks the stew Cos you were put here to protect us But who protects us from you?

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. ©
