“To Kill a Mother”

"[D]emocracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few."

–John Adams, An Essay on Man's Lust for Power, 1763

 

 

 

“To Kill a Mother”

 

cji

10/4/13

 

No longer heard the cry

‘come out with your hands up’

just shoot until she’s dead

use restraint – 12 seconds

a mother confused – chased

hounded by the police

never given a chance

reported to have a gun

as a car backfires in traffic

congress panics in fear

the potus over-reacts

blaming the shutdown

the brutal DC police win

to kill a mother as heroes

with the media cheering

and politicians applauding!
