Poem
Heavy heart Die die The fear in my eye I can hide behind this badge It will protect me and mines Is this how you feds think Is this how you feds feel You fear the color of my skin so using your badge makes you real....... Real tough? Real brave? Break it down to me please i need you feds to explain We tell you we are armed and licensed to conceal That is not enough as you still shoot to kill We walk with you side by side no resistance and in cuffs Hell that means nothing as you use your knee to kill us We run to avoid you in the middle of the street You shoot us in the back like we are some deer meat When will this stop? When will this end? I am sick of the crime Peace for a straight week has been non existent in my 27 years of living I am sick of the white man killing us off but what infuriates me more..... The fact my beautiful black brothers killing one another for simple beefs that can be resolved behind closed doors See the great Will Smith said it best “Racism isn’t getting worse, it is getting filmed” wisest thing i have heard in all of this mess Racism has never died It will continue to multiply Black people come together when they witness a white man killing our kind We get enraged and look to protest If another brother owe us 100 bucks hell we looking to put him and his whole family to rest I have lost family and friends to senseless black on black crime My black community does not settle issues with fist fights anymore We look to shoot a glock, .40 cal or a 9 We will set our brothers up To get robbed and to get beat We will kill another brother if they dare step on the Jordans i have on my feet My race is dying at the hands of their own They record killing or beating another black man and all is condoned “F that nigga up” is consistently heard on social media platforms The black community constantly views the videos of us getting punched, kicked, and spat on We joke about it and send it around Black man just got whooped and the video is viral all around town His pride is ruined and ego is diminished Now the person who just beat him.... well his life is about to be finished Another black on black crime funeral i must attend Even those aren’t safe since that is becoming a place of Revenge I am sick of the racist cops and people killing us all But the real change will come when we can come together as a black community and stand tall Until my black brothers and sisters can stop killing one another and until we can come together Change...... Change will never see the sunny side of the weather
