Taking The Knee

Taking The Knee

I'm against police brutality - who wouldn't be?
however, I'm still standing for the national anthem,
we're not governed by another countries democracy,
you can 'take the knee' if you believe passionately.

Let's lay it on the line - why do people resist arrest?
that's asking for trouble unless you want 'soft' policing;
you're proud of your colour, we'll never tire of it,
same for all Mac - please don't shoot me in the back.

Trump has his hand across hiss chest, he knows best,
but he doesn't, he can be removed by the electorate,
what if he's not? Are the same problems to carry on?
there's no guarantee that a new guy will be any better.

Ignorance is rife - thinking people are throwing bones,
even some suggesting parallels with 'Game of Thrones.'

your welcome
i would never
take a knee 
against my 
flag or my 
country
or the 
police 
yes police
brutality is wrong
but if people wont
resist arrest it
woudnt happen
and police brutality
has been a issue ever
since there was police
and befor that 
you had to deal
with the king or queen
and that was worse
and befor that you had to
deal with the romans
and that was worse of all
