Hell and Back

Hell and back
 
Been to hell and back and
You say hell wasn’t here
 
I’m in a fever dream
Tattoo on my neck and a  
Badge in my pocket
 
Law officer sworn to protect  
Angry screams marching down the street
 
Based on a lie of liar…he’s a Thief  
Dome of the people breached  
Dragged into lies down the stairs  
 
Badge stolen by a traitor  
Beaten with a thin blue line the
Same line I stand behind  
 
Taser on my neck you can  
Tase my tattoo  
Lose consciousness  
Cardiac arrest on my knees
 
Now can you tell me  
What is real before me
 
I’ve been to hell and back  
What about you
 
I’ve been to hell and back
What about you  
 
What about you
Have you seen hell in your eyes  
 
I’ve stared down the demon
Still breathing with a new tattoo  
 
I’ve been to hell and back  
What about you

This is a salute to Officer Michael Fanone and all the brave police officers who helped save our Democracy.
January 6, 2021 was not like Trump said a day of peace and love. That was definitely not Woodstock.
