If I- Don'T Riot and Steal In My Honor

Comely I .
Juzt a man of color 
If I...
"I imagine me being a man of color
 imagine if I was a famous sports figure if I were a politician if I were a religious minister ordained
 if I were just a plane citizen 
what if I were killed
 what if I were assassinated
Can you be would you be torn more would you mourn he remorse I tried I cried I died
 but if I were what would I be don't disrespect my legacy By rioting looting and burning is not the way be constructive or destructive
FORGIVENESS 
FORGIVE THEM THAT KILL ME
DON'T DISRESPECT  MY LEGACY 
FORGIVE PRAY FIR THEM
DON'T LOOT,ROB AND STEAL
Forgiveness unity and tolerance
Let's  embrace in love in Christ
