In Your Father’s Arms (Remembering Jason Owens)

 In Your Father’s Arms (Remembering Jason  Owens)

 

By John Kaniecki

 

Jason Owens what have they done?

On that lonesome wicked day

Shot you down with their gun

Didn’t even let you pray

To say your final tearful goodbye
To your dad at home in the sky

 

Jason Owens what have they done?

My poet’s pen is cold and numb

They can do you no more harm

You are safe and secure

In your Father’s arms

 

Jason Owens, Mother Earth welcomes you

Another tear

Another smear

On the red, white and blue

The headlines I demand
“MARSHALS MURDER MOURNING MAN’

 

Jason Owens what have they done?

Your life over just as it begun

Never to see Justin grow old

Your grandchildren you won’t hold

I will hold fast to this one charm

You are safe and secure

In your Father’s arms

 

Listen to what the Good Book says

The Sword cuts both ways

Jesus will judge those wicked cowards

But let our cry be heard

Hear my sacred vow

WE WANT JUSTICE NOW!

 

Jason Owens what have they done?

Your crimson blood screams

They called your name

And then let the bullets fly

Oh, to hear your anguished mother’s cry

And the authorities told a grand lie

With no cameras to witness the facts

Wednesday, August 24th, 2022, a day forever black

 

Jason Owens what have they done?

Another name, another shame, on an endless list

Evil shall persist until we resist

I hear the rustling of the bones of Mother Jones

A nation collectively groans

I point the finger of blame on the institution

With revolution the solution

 

Blow the horn! Ring the bell!

This wicked tale we must tell

Jason Owens, I hope you died not in vain

But that is up to the living

We that seek justice must sound the alarm

Rest Jason Owens a chapter is complete

But even in death there is no defeat

You are safe and secure

In your Father’s arms
