Blue Stain

Slavery was abolished in America almost 200 years ago but the system refuses to relinquish a sad history binding young black men as they remain prey and are locked up in a system to perform free labor blue mood cops the modern day crackers the new age slave hunters to capture them. They clip black wrists in handcuffs the updated version of chains once used to shackle down the slaves for transport on market days now they fill prison cells to work for masters whose guns are trained on their backs just in case they should run. The traffic stop a gold mine to capture new blood a broken taillight, a freshener on the rearview mirror tinted windows will get a white male a ticket or warning will get a black male maimed, killed or imprisoned driving while black/brown the underlying crime. I can hear their deceitful voices in my quiet mind thirsty cops wanting to get their fix of blood on their hands excited to get their bragging rights and to pump their chests ‘I got another today’, they boast laughing at their conquests. Stop resisting they shout while punching and kicking a responsive body to pain. How can one not move receiving such an assault to one’s body and with punches to one’s face and head? What a bunch of evil men are Chauvin and his kind may their souls cry out from the heat that awaits them when they meet their master—grateful for all the blood they’ve collected for him through the merciless killings they performed on black lives after all these years reminding us again that unfortunately black lives just don’t matter. They say reform of tactics is needed for the bad seeds, but how about reforming the entire broken structure and adding some empathy to go along with that please? The cry “Black Lives Matter” not a threat to a nation is actually a cry for respect, compassion, empathy it’s to spotlight the cruelty and inequity placed on a group of people seeking to overcome the knee on their necks to get the same treatment as everyone else.
