Al Juman Poet Didactic

Said Man Lost To Hate

Said Thomas
I a hustling peddler, 
hungry mouths to feed.
Do you know what's it's like
to stare upon hunger!
especially that of a child!

Tackled and hurdled to the ground like an animal.
Silent eyes stare,
Jaws stretch down,
Lips hanging,
Air stalls, 
Hairs raised,
No cry,
No words,
just traumatizing disgust.
This a moment needs no oxygen.
The world stands still.
Anguish is silent,
- who will question a lunatic cop with a gun.
You! 
You!
You!
Then who?

I Thomas!
was 
Someone's Son, 
Someone's husband, 
Someone's father,
Yes, 
Now I have
hungry fatherless children.
Who will stand for them,
Replace my love,
Cuddle them with nice things,
Send them to college,
the killer COP?
Who intentionally shot 
and took the life out of me.

Angelo Pierre Louis July 13, 2016 at 7:49 AM Words that can provoke raw emotions Al Juman July 13, 2016 at 11:00 AM I never realize my words had that effect. ----am I provoking you as well my friend? Then you must agree with Law men selfishly serving the death penalty. Be like Martin Luther give me your mind or you would still be in the back of the line

Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 11:59 AM Tim Smith, you must be a cop. I hate all cops--they are dogs They beat me mercilessly because I could not speak. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. I don't even know what drugs look like. I feed the homeless matters not their color or how drugged up they are. THEY ARE PEOPLE. YOU WOULD SHOOT THE BLACK ONES. you UNGODLY DEVIL Tim Smith July 11, 2016 at 12:50 PM YNR

Tim Smith July 11, 2016 at 9:33 AM So who is Alton Sterling? For starters, liberals should know he possessed an illegal firearm. As a felon with a lengthy rap sheet, Sterling is legally prohibited from possessing a firearm. Police records show Sterling had been a member of the Bloods gang, and had a list of offenses including battery, assault, drugs and weapons charges, and owed $25,000 in child support. He was also a registered pedophile, having impregnated a 14-year-old girl when he was 20. The media, by contrast, has portrayed him as a loving father of five. Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 11:50 AM You need a Gun. I dont because I am not an executioner Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 11:49 AM because I am white and black Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 11:48 AM I would fetch yours and his Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 11:48 AM But no you would not want me to fetch yours Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 11:47 AM You are a racist Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 11:46 AM The fella who got killed. His children would love to be fetched Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 11:46 AM Are you going to go fetch them? Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 11:46 AM No because they are black and you are white Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 11:44 AM I love the this photograph of you and your child so Godly Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 11:44 AM yet you so unGodly

Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 2:37 AM If my son gets to know this I will be in trouble How do I get rid of my remarks? Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 2:05 AM Sh--------eee I tried to secretly change it but that did not work so I started another.

Alexis Y. July 10, 2016 at 4:04 PM Hi Al, You have penned a well written piece. This is so sad and it happens all the time. It's been on the news lately. A cop shot a man who was already subdued. This man was already on the ground and he did not even have a weapon. Just like they are trained to kill, they are also trained to spare someone's life .THIS HATE MUST STOP! Good thought provoking write.A enormous seven:-) Alexis Al Juman July 11, 2016 at 2:10 AM well my pen is very versatile. It dislikes unjust actions matters not whom you are. But frankly I dislike all cops -White, black, brown, green. I think the badge deputies them as Gods
