Prejudice Kills

Red and blue colors, a dangerous light. Trembling voice, upset stomach, shaking hands. Death; common for black, uncommon for white. Gripping the wheel, denying the urge to flight. The white officer appears, makes his demands. Red and blue colors, a dangerous light. Tension thick in the air, nerves come alight. Disobedience lurks, begging for a stand. Death; common for black, uncommon for white. One wrong word, one wrong move, could start a fight. An innocent child, did misunderstand. Red and blue colors, a dangerous light. Reached for an object, in the dark of night. Stereotypical fear, led to something grand. Death; common for black, uncommon for white. Does his best to obey, but is told goodnight. A shot fires, taking a life unplanned. Red and blue colors, a dangerous light. Death; common for black, uncommon for white.
