Mad And Sick Of Seeing So Much Violence In Our Streets

I am going to scream That there is too much injustice In our streets. The Police, These days, are not there for Justice, For all citizens in our cities. I am going to scream That there is too much mayhem on the screen, Too much unbearable pain for the spleen, And too much chaos and violence in my dreams. I can hear the screams, Coming from the streets. I can hear the cries of our sisters, I can see the blood of our brothers, All over the streets. I can smell, feel the pain, This is insane. Look at the video tape, There is a white cloth, a drape, On a dying body. This is sad and crazy. I can hear our people saying: Hands up, don't shoot! I can see other victims lying In the streets, crying And yelling: Do not shoot! Nowadays, violence is everywhere. We are soaked in a bloody terror. This is hell on earth. It is hard to figure Out this nonsense. There is too much violence, And that makes no sense. The cries of hell can pierce the eardrums. The Police now have military equipments Sub-machine guns, drones, tents And they can drop bombs. There is too much bloodshed in the neighborhood. Stop the killings, hand out books and food, To the people, instead of tear gas, and injustice. Our people's lives matter. We all had a father and a mother. We all want to live happily in one piece, In Peace. Copyright© December,2014, Hebert Logerie, All Rights Reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several poetry books:
