**** here we go again,
another black man’s life taken so easily
so brutally by egotistical police,
stripped of his pride and divine design,
stripped of his life and sight,
his insight that could’ve empowered lives,
bombarded, discarded, targeted
by his own skin tone, blown off course,
divorced by opposing forces, misconceived
enemies, sheer destruction obstructing the black
man from taking a stand, from running the race
to embrace the sweet escape, to evolve and fight
the cause, to utilize logic to divide compromised laws,
******* with the black man’s persona, turning them
into savages, blackened beasts, meaningless sheep
and weaklings wretched and dispelled, locked away
in cells, utterly failed, shotgunned, and demolished.
