Strangled Justice
Just another siren roadkill:
A low-down,
rabid raccoon resisting arrest
at high noon
A feral noted asphalt death
So says the official pol-pol report
In a Terminator monotone
was the desk commandant’s
brass tact, swastika vapor retort
Abel-bodied justice, sho’ nuff —
A redacted cam footage snuff
Grim fire Cain desire,
hate-lust displayed
when coldly
slapping on the Reaper cuffs
Tar baby fetal prone pinned fatally;
poly blue-kneed on the jugular,
Bwana caught baboon can’t breathe
By George,
bad monkey got a name
Floyd recorded on the birth registry,
a curious
violent death
t’was how the end came
Ebony communities unnerved
by the strangled justice served
Latest rap sheet statistic said,
just another darkie
lights out dead
Midnight scary thoughts:
Pet cemetery spook laid in a
ghetto dirt bed
Asphyxiation was how his neo-plantation air bled
Suffocated by roots of slavery injustice, I’m afraid
