is that I am not a cop with a badge and a gun
tasked to serve and protect
nor am I a black father or mother or brother
grieving over lost family or friend
nor am I a part of a community where
The world in itself is not rational
It is right for me, but it is not right for you
Themes that we see in early thought
Isolation, alienation, angst, and dissolution
Causes death.
Am I a black male?
do you judge me by my skin?
or am I a male who is black?
do you acknowledge my dark skin?
Ignorance will tell you alot about me
I am from the hood
always up to no good
Judgement and speculations
Have always been passed over me
Always been placed on me
By family
By friends
By people I don't even know
Why is this?
Justice for all?
Damn near justice for none!
People die everyday,
Because the world can't control their guns
Innocent people die in vain.
If the police do a crime,
Is it ok?
A lovely day,
Dull yet gay,
For a peace
Prevailed.
But all was gone
In the blink of an eye.
