RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: POLICE VIOLENCE
The Killing of Lorenz
Maybe he lost his mind
No one really seems to know
Were the police color blind
Or did their bias show?
He sprayed gas into a crowd
What kind they didn’t know
He seemed mad and crazy loud
He absorbed five killing blows
He was dead right on the spot
And the people gathered round
Was this a terrorist plot?
Was the shooting sound?
We may never know the answers
Why this young black man is dead
Is this an incident or a cancer?
A day all Germans dread
He was victim number 22
For the year 2024
In the red, white and blue
There were 1,343 more
(A black man shot by police
in Oldenburg, Germany.)
