To be a Cop: Cops are Protectors
They are protectors
Not of us
But of the
Sadism they hide
Behind with those
Handcuffs wrapped around
The first black
Person they meet
And call a
Person with as
Much fear as
The officer has
Of stark racism
To be denied
The tiny spec
Of freedom the
Black sista or
Brotha holds onto
tighter than his
or her life.
These are not generalizations of all cops just a call to action against racism in the justice system. Thanks for the understanding! Please share and take action! Justice for all!
