It happens every time
A person is killed
Simply cause of their color
And people try to care
But then they divide
Some see the dead as they were
Others see them as a ****
People fight to defend the killer
While we struggle to keep ourselves alive
Everyday it just gets worse
We die
People mourn
Argue the systematic oppression
Of a White Male dominant society
Try to fight the system
But move on from this fight
Due to the light distractions
Of media perception and illusion
