Rampant Police Brutality Against United States Citizens of Color First Round

Agony, grief and particularly anger roil these lovely bones life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness exempts those graced with darker skin tones. Rather than raucously riot, I craft emotions courtesy poetry mine feeble attempt to agitate and protest sublimated thru scathing poetic indictment lame contrasted against violent protests. Peaceable methodology, (viz printed word) versus war preferable mode to conflict resolution opposed to explosive uproar angry frenzied mob scenes as seen online, or alternate mass communication medium valiantly, yet vanely attempt to even out score. Tipping point evincing breached injustices, (whereby persons sporting greater melanin) triggered spontaneous outbursts (bedlam witnessed while safely sequestered within Highland Manor apartment unit B44 May 31st, 2020). Innocent lives, particularly those who proudly identify themselves purportedly black targeted merely because genetics crafted them darker hued skin unwittingly and unfairly site them in crosshairs where strong arm of the law indiscriminately takes their life. Despite genetics bequeathing me Caucasian (predominantly Eastern European - Semitic features) with one percent Neanderthal man thrown in for good measure), yours truly dispirited, dismantled, and disgruntled née disenchanted linkedin with *****sapiens. Neither railing nor ranting can alleviate injustice visited upon heads and torsos of innocent Americans, whose genealogy traced to Africa, Australia, Haiti, Melanesia, Papua New Guinea and South Asia. Because they and/or forebears hailed from areas with highest ultraviolet radiation in the world, subsequent generations automatically serve as fodder stigmatized cradle to grave.
