Two officers down

Location

Two officers were brutally killed in Brooklyn yesterday 

for what? 

Retribution of avenging the death of Eric garner

protesting a march down the streets of tompkins avenue

what was gain from this malicious act

retaliation?

more countless deaths of more innocent lives 

who won't be able to go home to their loved ones and families 

children asking about their fathers

must now fathom the fact that daddy won't be coming home tonight 

how do you think they feel?

to not have a Xmas devastates their innocence of facing harsh realities that the world is an evil place to live

full of villains and creeps

this is not about ending police brutality solely 

this is about ending the ongoing violence that continues the do the work of the devil who cares nothing about human life

yet, we continue to serve Satan's command of destruction

and as human beings, we still haven't found a way to innovate reconstruction

of conquering the hate that dwells inside one's scornful souls

instead, our slavemaster is ignorance that whips us without even using a rope 

why human civilization as a community doesn't speak or think for oneself 

too many Indians and not enough chiefs 

there is no justification for murders and killing sprees of innocent people 

i can only hope that cops will feel what's it like to be racially profile

all because they wear all blue , same way you view someone as a crip for wearing that same color

unfortunately, it had to take two cops to be shot down like wild pack of dogs to understand equality

have we finally woke up? I truly wonder

i hope it woke all of us up
