Roger Clemens V. Real Crime Poem by Luke Easter

Roger Clemens V. Real Crime

Rating: 5.0


Statistics support violent crime is on the rise it’s true,
Hey, even misdemeanor incidents are escalating too,
8 year-old boy in New York, dismembered for what?
High ranking elected officials everywhere are corrupt.

So when 103 law enforcement officers & 5 attorneys,
U.S., Germany, Puerto Rico, investigators journeyed,
72 locations,229 reports,45 witnesses uh Al Capone?
Then who’s in the grave under that phony headstone?

Stop it! This is serious, no time for any hanky-panky,
All of these, “suits” for a former New York Yankee?
Didn’t rob Fort Knox or cause Goldman Sachs to fall,
As all he ever did in life was throw a 100mph fastball.

When someone stole my car the cops took two days,
But in a no parking zone 10 minutes to tow it away,
Whereas, all this is in the interest of justice you say?
Rocket supposedly used steroids, that’s not fair play.

You’ve got that right yet neither is it murder in the 1st,
Nor the, “Crime of the Century” by a Voodoo Curse,
Needles, cotton balls contained evidence of his DNA,
All this over a game no wonder real criminals get away.

Not just a game okay but America’s favorite past time,
Compared to murder which is the more serious crime?
Well, this guy lied to Congress but don’t they lie too?
How many campaign promises never come through?

A Border Patrol Agent murdered in the, “line of fire, ”
And the real criminals are dressed in three piece attire,
Defense attorney claims prosecutor’s evidence is fake,
It is baseball not human trafficking, what will it take?

A, “slider” takes precedence over the Mexican Cartel?
Drug runners killed a Veteran, put the pitcher in jail?
You kidding me, between the two which one is worst?
Hell, forget about the breaking ball, “who’s on first? ”
