One Judge, Two Sheriff’s Deputies, and Five Police Officers

Take on a 98-Year-Old Woman

 

“Try that in a small town”

 

The 11th of August was neither the beginning nor the end

Of sheltering the Constitution from thugs

Some in judicial robes, some in dark uniforms

When Joan Meyer stood

between them and us

 

A newsroom pillaged by judicial fiat

Private homes looted by armed bully-boys

Ordered by a heartless magistrate

When Joan Meyer stood

between them and us

 

When Joan Meyer died

between them and us
