CAR HORN BLARES WHEN THE OWNER SLUMPS DOWN ONTO THE WHEEL 

WHAT STEERED THE SHERIFF IN KENOSHA

TO SHOOT HIM IN THE BACK?

DIDN’T YOU SEE ENOUGH CHILDREN’S TV

TO KNOW BETTER THAN THAT?

ROUND TO THE DRIVER’S SIDE 

HEAD BOWED DOWN SHOULDERS UP 

AS IF TO SAY  I KNOW THIS WON’T WORK

BUT I’M DOING IT ANYWAY 

AS HE LEANS INTO THE CAR

THE FIRST OFFICER HOLDS THE TAIL OF HIS T

AND LETS GO  SEVEN TIMES    

JACOB BLAKE IS A BROWN EYED HANDSOME MAN   

WITH A PENCIL MOUSTACHE

AND A CANNY LOOK LIKE CHUCK BERRY’S   

BUT NO DUCK WALKS DURING FUTURE APPEARANCES  

WALKING AROUND HIS CAR WILL HAVE BEEN HIS LAST   

IF IT’S TRUE THE BLUES HAVE PARALYSED HIM FROM THE WAIST DOWN    

GOES TO SHOW YOU NEVER CAN TELL   

WHICH SIDE OF THE BED THEY WOKE UP ON    

WISHING WHAT MUSTN’T HAPPEN AGAIN   
HADN’T HAPPENED AGAIN      
YOURS TRULY
