Anytime, a police shooting occurs.
They quickly to response before investigation has started.
The cover up starts the moment the bullets left the gun.

To serve and protect, now becomes to lie and fabricate.
Cause within the mixture will be some fiction and a few facts.
We accept mistakes happen.

It's like the job of a public defender.
Conviction is most likely to happen to the one the defending.
The cover up starts when the spokesperson speaks..

They most basing facts upon the explanation of the officer involved.
And don't matter who's the witness?
Like five standing there.
They all going to describe a different version.

It's like the writers of the Gospel concerning Jesus.

It only take one to start a revolution.
It only take one to start a protest.
Others with eventually join with their own agenda.

But you must be determine to be on the same path to accomplish the same out come.

Rosa Park
Muhammad Ali
Colin Kapernick

Believe this?
It only takes one to create havoc for change

A seed is planted at the first mark
You always remember the start
You have to quench the thirst
Poison ivy is growing in my veins
And I dig them up using thorns
Red like roses, soft as petals
Skin meets the sharp metal

I may post a better version of this because I'm gonna try to polish it a bit more

tell me you love me.
say it louder.
convince me that you love me.

tell me you love me.
even when I'm screaming at you,
even when I'm crying in your arms,
even when I destroy myself before your very eyes.
tell me you love me.

tell me you love me.
even when my hair is a mess in the morning,
even when I haven't showered and I look like trash,
even when I'm still in my pajamas,
and it's three in the afternoon.
tell me you love me.

tell me you love me.
even when my eyes are bloodshot,
even when my voice is gone,
even when I lie straight to your face.
tell me you love me.

tell me you love me.
even when I don't know who I am,
even when I text you in the middle of the night,
even when I can't love myself.
tell me you love me.

tell me you love me.
even when I double, triple, quadruple text you,
even when I message you on every app,
even when I tell you my true feelings in between memes.
tell me you love me.

tell me you love me.
even when I can't process my thoughts,
even when I can't say what I mean,
even when I stutter when I talk.
tell me you love me.

tell me you love me.
say it louder.
convince me that you love me.
I was going to go scream at my boyfriend about how he's getting into a big mess by dating me, I'm not worth his time, he's just going to get hurt, blah blah blah. but instead, I wrote this because, quite frankly, it's what I need. I need him to tell me he loves me.

Hey you
With your soulful brown eyes
And slender frame
It's cute when you use my name
I dread our goodbyes
Hey you
With your silly stories
And odd little quirks
You and I'll make it
Despite the jerks
If not we can fake it
Hey you
I like you
With your not so appropriate jokes
The way you walk proudly
I love being in your arms
I'll say your name loudly
Hey you
I love you
This is dedicated to my lovely boyfriend, Jared.
