Deputy Executed--Obama's In Alaska Silent

In another “Where’s Waldo moment “Obama has his priorities completely out of whack

Sounds of silence after an execution of a deputy shot in the head and back

This President is so quick to get on a televised stage

To in a police shooting of a black express his outrage

To like a hungry fish take the false Hands Up Don’t Shoot bait

But recruiters are killed by a jihadist for the outrage symbols we have to wait

If a deputy is executed our communicator in chief’s lips are sealed

More pressing duties to go to Alaska for a climate change photo op to reveal

When the Black Lives Matter movement the forces of revenge on police awakens

Parading in the streets- “Pigs in a blanket-Fry them like bacon!”

This president is mute

Not a whisper for black racism to refute 

The fight against racism cannot be a one way street

Where is the bully pulpit voice to black on white racism also defeat

Where is the DOJ, when will the hate crime officers on Harris County descend?

Will this president ever take a stand against this killing cops trend?
