poem in window

Livid

Anger ain’t even the right word

Worried about some stores

they’ve got some fucking nerve

This is us in minor, still pretty low-key

Nobody’s out here shooting them

and getting paid leave

 

Can’t even run, can’t even take a drive

Can’t be safe at home, can’t even live our lives

 

Talking about resisting

Knowing it’s all lies

Calling for assistance

Killing after we comply

 

We have the right to know, do we not?

Why someone can be a killer and still be a cop

We want this shit to stop and we want to know why

We only get 1 option: be black and die
