Tik tock click glock
a two edged blade
the pendulum slits
another cog flips
an inch to the left
a ear to the right
everyone heard
none exactly saw
one die for another.

Global size hailestones
blocked visions skulls dinosaurs
iced ages ago

Being kind is hard
It can leave you nasty scars
But it’s still worth it
Because that’s who you are

I found that I could not learn to write, until I was no longer afraid to dream.

Vengeance or justice
A thinning blue line
They mete it out
Dole it out
Punish the crime
Keep us safe
Keep us facing
The wall
In disgrace
Like we’re already guilty
But make no mistake
They are just the slave-catchers
The shackles and chains
Their immunity
Qualified
By the bloodstains
On the pavement,
The backpacks,
The halls of our homes
And their failure
To serve
And protect us
Arose
From systemically racist
Agendas
And schemes
To be for-profit prison’s
Enforcement machines
