Mark Kennedy Stone: (One Of) An Enemy

 
For years, undercover police
had secretly, covertly fleeced
and infiltrated citizens,
their fam’ilies, the denizens
a reason they would finally howl
a mighty hue and cry as: FOUL!

No justice offered, just excuse.
One’s race, an activist, a ruse,
or heaven help a woman’s truth
to be in fullness of one’s youth;
who let her feelings for a start
be tangled in affairs of heart.

The secret fellow makes believe
a good intention, yet deceives.
The lies to get her in her bed,
to coax to have his way instead.
The fam’ly, unaware the fall,
For love of daughter, kin and all.
 
The Met, The Yard, atone and try
To look the public in the eye.
How could a man so blatantly,
sleep, and fool the citizenry?
A photo of the two in love?
Look closer; of a wolf & dove.

It leaves us with a bitter taste;
to trust authority - a waste!
For all these years, half century,
two generations’ memories.
Gone is a faith to him the shame
You only have yourself to blame.
