Witnessing For Mary

Your face is hooded by the local police
not Guantanamo this hood is a local one
after they bang your head of the cruiser
take you the local Courtenay detachment
put in in solitary confinement without
medical attention or even an pain pill
for the splitting head wound that bleeds
Who are these cruel police constables
in our midst sweet smiling uniformed
all squeaky clean well trained louts
It only takes a few bad apples now
to make the suffering of others real
You should be at the hospital getting
medical attention after that old man
knocked you out and then claimed you
were robbing his house he was free
while you suffered twenty four hours
abused by St Joes's hospital staff
you even accused you of being HIV
racism is alive and well in Comox
beaten and beaten more by the RCMP
Something has to be done about this
