Proud To Be American

What is up with these police

Pepper spraying

Chocking someone to death

Shooting in the back

Shooting a young man

Trigger happy

Proud law enforcer

Just eager to shoot somebody

And it is almost always 

A black man

Shot by a white man or woman

Not a twenty year old white man

Shot by a black man or woman

Or a white man dies

After being choked by the knee

Of a black officer

Just inexplicable

Blatant show of racism

All the while acting so noble

Talking so noble

Feeling so noble

Yet being so ignoble

Including all who stay silent

Like that guy who shut the door

Watching Asian woman get beaten

Just let it happen attitude

Not my business attitude

Glad it is not me attitude

There it is again attitude

Just going about their business

Nonchalant about the whole thing

That is the real problem 

Where nothing matter except self

Care about nothing but self

Independence to the max

Proud to be American

Just not with the neighbor
