Crisis
The NBA was on strike,
Everyone is in the fight.
Racial injustice rages on,
It’s urgent for change to come.
Black man paralyzed with seven pops,
No actions are taken to make a stop.
White man gets the special treatment,
While black people are viewed a threat.
Majority of people say overreaction,
To a society issue that causes reactions.
A group of people are being scrutinized,
America hears black and thinks uncivilized.
America thinks it’s right to dehumanize,
I can’t comprehend the reason why.
America represents hope of a better life,
Ironically, they justify taking black lives.
