Poem – Lone Officer With Courage

Mitchel Cohen

– Artist’s Website –
When the cops
turned their backs
on the Mayor
and attacked
and Lynch’s mob
derailed, detracked
or tried to

One cop
stood alone
Honored mission
like a stone
Courage comes
in many forms
and those not busy
being born
are busy dyin’

Lone NYPD officer, in this gang, refuses to turn back on Mayor de Blasio despite what must have been enormous pressure on him to do so. Give that cop a big “thank you” for standing up to tyranny and fascism, and …. doing his job!
