I could be petty.
I really could.
Except, not one bad word will I say about you.
And I have pretty to say.

Then that just be the evil side of me.

I could be vicious and tear you apart.
Have you being like a puzzle with pieces missing to a broken heart.
Except, not one bad world will I say.

Like, a parent keeping the peace before one another.
When they aware what created the marital trouble.
But not one bad word do they say.

They smile and beam like it's just a glorious day.

So thank me for not saying one bad word.

Have you noticed?
The certain image of some cops profile.
Okay, here we go?

How many white officers?
You see wearing the mirror reflecting sunglasses.
And with their chest out like that instantly got them brave.

And barely know the police rules of the force.

Have you noticed this?

What?
With these glasses makes them think they hiding their eyes being read by the individual they pull over.

Shouldn't rule dictate wear apparel?
Not really.


Then the black officer profile.
Oh, there are plenty there.
But nowhere more than in the image of truth that many hadn't shot a white male down.

You don't see this too much on the news.
I guess this to serve and protect this just a phase to some.
Especially when some get brave holding on to the gun.

When I say, you're beautiful anywhere.
I wrote about you.
And believe this, every word is true.

Sure, I could fabricate like many people do.
And then when slowly their true self-emerges and you see the real you.
You then become lost and confused.

When I say, you're wonderful.
I wrote about you.
I'm just talking about the woman I know.

Yes, I could state this or that too many.
Who doesn't know you?
But it would only mean in time they will try to tear you apart.

And that would hurt.
For you the substance of this heart and the object I love.

We must laugh.
Well, least I.
When athletes protest against injustice.
And all some can point out why millionaires crying against wrong/
Well, what right?
Did they give up?

They have the responsibility to speak out just as we.

Money, create a better life for many.
But shouldn't dictate you into being quiet against wrong.

If that the case we still be accepting all types of wrongs.

We forget.
We forget protest centers around freedom to do it.
American is the place and the face of protest.

The hate to see it, people.
Accept wrong as long as it's silent.
But in reality, it only takes one to get the snowball effect rolling.

Rosa Park
Martin Luther King
Malcolm X
Are just a few.
But we aware of their history and their truth.

Colin Kaepernick
Lebron James
Muhummad Ali
It only takes one to create the drama and the conflict to protest wrong.

We yearn.
But not beg.
We want.
But not need.

Least in reality.
But in our dreams.
We longing for someone special.

One, we will compare too as a loving treasure.
Nothing in this world will measure more than her/him.

We speak.
But not deny.
Why?
For we have no alibi.

We longing for affection from that cherished connection.

The justice squad of citizens playing the spotlight game.
Policing the neighborhood for a crime without being sure of anything.

And what about the bigots?
All communities have them.
Yes, all racism know all races.
Maybe, one a little more.

And officers already judgmental to jump on allegations without facts.
Creates more problems without a level-headed supervisor.

We know the false allegation tossed around in public.

Officer, we have a suspected individual in our neighborhood.
Officer's response just to find it's not what they saw?
Might be a lost driver finding a friend.
Might be hosts of many things.

Will policing stop crime?
No.
What about the house?
With domestic abuse within the neighborhood.
What about the child molester?
Not all are known until they act out.

Cry not about "BIG BROTHER" watching us?
It has been going on forever.
