How Can You Kick a Man
Written By: D. Collins 6/17/20
How can you kick a man who's been shot through the heart?
Stand on his dying body until the final breath departs?
What kind of demon child could think of something like that?
Only a so-called Peace Officer that will shoot you in the back.
We are in shock and awe from the images we have seen.
But, that has been the law for people looking like me.
How can you kick a man when he's probably already dead?
That's the question I can't seem to get right in my head.
From my perspective, I see an undeniable internal disease.
Along with COVID-19, we have some real grimy police.
No one should endure that when taking their dying breath.
Especially, when accolades are given for another "Black Man's" death.
