In the bloodbath of men of color
shooting mostly men of color in Chicago’s blood stained hoods
The concept of a never ending carnage
of death and maiming hard for whites to
be understood
The Blue power structure in dealing
with the problem clearly appears to be MIA
So typical of the racism of neglect
when victims are only men of color to slay
Today the carnage to a Blue
candidate for Attorney General was brought dangerously close to home
Aaron Goldstein was doing a campaign
photo shoot too close to a combat zone
When three blacks approached with
guns and robbed them of their cameras and cell phones
Leaving no doubt that in some hoods
the thugs and drug dealers the streets of Chicago own
The silver lining in this street holdup
is that Goldstein was not shot
Even though the three thugs are
still by police being sought
The other is that if the potential
chief law officer for the state
Cannot appear in public without starring
down the barrel of a gun to face an uncertain fate
The law abiding citizens be allowed
to carry open and concealed arms
For self protection when there is
not a cop on every corner to protect them from deadly harm.
