For All Americans Who Love Freedom Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

A page has turned in America
once the police were sent
into Southern cities to beat;

and arrest Afro-Americans
and those with a conscience
who believed in racial equality

for all Americans;
and we who love freedom,
were shamed, by water cannon,

and beatings lashed out,
by southern police brutality.
Now in New York, New York's

finest choose their slimiest,
to creep in during dead of night,
at 3.30am with their batons hate

aggression; to attack peaceful
protesters on Wall Street.
Protesters who protest claim

America is not the 1% richest
that George W. Bush decreed
should pay no my mates taxes.

Observe whole world watches
self promoted land of free,
claiming rule by democracy,

club their poor who were bleed
of their tax dollars, employment,
houses to pay Wall Street debts;

cheating bankers stock brokers.
Michael Rubens Bloomberg,
Mayor of New York City,

with a net worth of $19.5 billion;

in 2011, plus the 12th-richest
person in the United States
dances with glee as founder and

88% owner of Bloomberg
L.P. financial news and
information services media company;

Bloomberg does not have to pay
off mainstream media; he is the media.
Time to vote jackals out of office.
