Breaking News: Chicago Police Have Systematically Violated Civil Rights

Really? Like we didn’t know it?
Really? Like the headline had to show it?
Even an old, white guy wouldn’t want to get in the way
of a Chicago cop anywhere in the city or on any highway.
This old, white guy did and it wasn’t any fun
and the Chicago cops had this old, white guy on the run.
If this old, white guy were black, brown or red,
there’s a good chance he would be dead;
instead, this old, white guy lived to write and tell
that there is something rotten in Denmark, er, Chicago;
you know it by that really bad smell
in the wake of brutality
hanging on those once broad shoulders of a once great city.
