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.
