Lets Be Civil

Listen to poem:
im awkwardly facing an officer, dont know what to expect will we both jump the gun and start a civil unrest will the tone of my skin be a story for press? who’s the first to throw a stone with no sins to confess? preachers and deacons finally come out to speak but only when im dead and covered up in a sheet where’s all the loving and the comfort for the mothers who weep it happens on the daily children die on the street it’s true this country does have crooked police im not denying there arnt cops looking for people to beat im not siding with those who hate the govern elite i do firmly agree that blacks are being a target to a certain degree but being a people of freedom only gets infront of the goals that they’re trying to achieve it’s alot much bigger than you probably think what happened to john F kennedy and M L king? Luke 23:32-43
