Wakanda

WAKANDA…
naw America! Armed with a cellphone or a knock off CD
License to carry…
Don’t shoot just showing you my ID
"He's got a gun…"
22 shots fired both hands above the head 
No conviction News read just another Gangster dead
He's a child…
Somebody's son…left in the street to bleed
He could have survived…
But you chuckled when he scream I CANT BREATH
Daughter buckled in watching from the back seat
Mom behind the drivers wheels… shaking him "WAKE UP PLEASE!!!"
Local PD hunting a minority on some type of internal vendetta 
Shots fired life loss on camera watching PD plant the weapon
Court filled with mothers of victims
"The police killed our children…"
How does one get acquitted, 3 week vacation, and that just the tip of the iceberg
But it's America until we demand a WAKANDA 
So well always fall slave to the system…  
Minority in the streets but majority In the prisons
I had a Dream once too but what you did to my ancestry  
White people are mad about 9/11
But we cant be mad about our history
13th amendment gives us freedom 
What amendment gives white people freedom 
Awww ok!!!

Terraun there's so much raw emotion here. If you understand what's going on when you read this all you can do is shake your head because there isn't really anything anyone can say. Wrong is wrong. Powerful piece Terraun. And welcome to PS.
