Poem
Occifer, occifer what did I do I no go fast and dat is de truth I good citizen I try to be good I have 3 kids and live in bad neighborhood Place your hands on the wheel sir where I can see them I know your kind and I know my reason License and registration please and do it real slow You were doing 55 in a 54 Yes sir I give you de papers you ask but I want no trouble thats not too much to ask I pay my taxes and I obey the law If it was 54 then de sign I must not have saw Just hand me the papers and don't you move I will be back and we'll see what we'll do If you claim to be what you say you are You should have no problems so let me go back to my car De minutes tick by and sweat fill my face I remember de movies of police filled with hate for people like me then bad things happen I remember one movie when they beat him then shot him I say quick prayer as I think of my kids my wife and de dreams of dem going to college Tears start flowing and now I am scared de man has been gone too long I can see him stare Oh my God another car pull up then two then three now even a truck they all around me and watching me close then a voice in my head screams, YOU ARE TOAST!!! then all of a sudden the man says step out de car I ask him what for he says GET OUT OF THE CAR!!! I say to myself I will not die here and step out de car trying to hide my fear De other police jump out and aim their guns My hands in the air, guns have I none De police come to me with gun pulled out UP AGAINST THE CAR he screams and he shouts I tense my body as I turn around my ears cry out at the sound of the round immediately I fall to the ground gasping and wheezing de police come over to see if I'm breathing they hit me with sticks and then start to kick me they tie my hands up and continue with beating they take off my clothes in de cold night air then de tie me to de truck cause I don't belong here They hop in de truck and start to drive my back on de ground they skin me alive then they stop and take one last look they untie me and take me off the hook I'm thrown in de bushes while de rest of them laugh I just thank God de torture did not last I look at de police as he lights up his cush and ask why he beat me and he said... ... .. JUST THANK BUSH.
