Poem Friday – 08/23/2013 – A hug And On The Cheek Kissed
A Hug And On The Cheek Kissed
Author Lesley Voth
Its a gorgeous morning, the air is fresh, sky has turned from night to sky blue
With a deep breath and a stretch, I am glad to be alive. Arn’t you?
Not for Christopher Lane, he will not see another day
He was shot in the back in a cruel and unforgivable way
Two black boys, they were bored wanted some fun
No thought for him or the hearts they tore apart, a Mothers beautiful son
Mr President, Al Sharpton, and Mr Jackson where are you now?
You made a hero of a boy who injured and attacked a man, thats how
Mr President is it that he was white you cannot visualize him to be your son
Was it your place to comment, no, it was not but too late the damage has been done
A man has been sent into hiding cannot show his face
An excuse for black kids, to kick and punch. These kids show no grace
Yes I am angry as ALL Australians naturally will be
Yes there will be repercussions, Traveller’s less from there you will see
I cannot imagine how this would tear at ones heart, how crushed one would feel
I am sure they will cry for a life time and would find the pain hard to heal
Never met you Christopher but I know you will be missed
A wonderful memory for your Mum and Dad when you walked in the door, a hug and on the cheek kissed
