A forgotten victim of the system

An untold story of black British history Throughout history our voices have been silenced But what happens When they take it further and murder us? What about those who were permanently silenced? How will they speak up about how they were 'welcomed' with violence? But I have a voice and I will speak it The stories Of the forgotten Who were victims To a system That encouraged police brutality David Oluwale A human being Someone who contributed a lot to Leeds This was post war Britain He had a multitude of jobs To clean up a mess He had no part of But none of his contributions mattered Because he was a black man Violence against black people was ever present And whilst many kept quiet To avoid the consequences Of messing with the system But David David had this fire within him He wouldn't allow the mistreatment Of his people But they didn't like that And so they made his life a living hell And some was locked in a cell A few times For the prettiest of petty minor crimes He was mistreated by the system To the point he was left homeless And began to have mental problems He was put on a diet of largactyl And was subjected to Electro shock therapy And tossed him on the streets Where his mental health deteriorated They weaponised his mind against him They claimed he 'attacked' a couple of policemen But we all know what really happened I mean the Leeds police were notorious for Discrimination and racism Against black people So are we surprised they claimed he 'attacked' them Then those officers Ellerker and kitching Pushed him into the river and killed him They claimed it was an 'accident' But witness statements Told a different story There was a trial but they were never convicted The judge said there was a lack of evidence Even though there were multiple witnesses When he died David was only thirty six When he became a victim To a system Who hated him But I will never let him be forgotten I hope one day he will get justice
