Edward Ibeh Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Black Lives Matter

Black, sweet as chocolate
Lives, mine, as well
As folks who look just like me, matter
Crooked White cops be target-practicin'
Killing...

Lots of my brothas and sistas
Indifferent; apathetic to our plight, our pain.
Vile, how they do us; making us feel like...
Endangered
Species, from the moment we wake!

More killings of Black folks will be televised;
A monstrosity! An abomination!
The absolute, unvarnished...
TRUTH. Hey, i'm not saying screw...
Every other race! All lives are precious, but...
Remember, Black ones are, too, so let us live!
