Who gave it breath?
To eat and live
And act like the wolf
Which eats beings without fangs?
II
Who gave it eyes
To see all colours
To judge and harm
Souls of beings with no known knives?
III
Who wore it clothes
To make it perfect
To taunt all beings
Who’re being flogged by poverty?
IV
Who gave it arms
To force and tie beings
With the aim of stifling
To seize most breaths?
V
Who gave it those unseen fangs
To destroy at a glance without mercy?
I just had to ask again
Although it does some good,
It is the ruthless policeman of all times
What beings call society
Is now the caretaker of all mentalities
Causing fear and panic among responsibles
Knowing not what troubles

Speaks to the police brutality in America which is out of control. As a Black person you feel like a target for Cowboys who think this is the Wild Wild West. On the other hand I give thanks to the police officers who do their job day in and day out helping people in the neighborhood.

This is another point of view. And it saddens my heart that the police everywhere are plagued with corruption and unnecessary victimization. I was also talking about the society which has been made a policeman who sees flaws, though it is no human being and sometimes harshly judges humans.
