*Earth to earth, Oh ashes to ashes and dust to dust, How strange, how familiar, human connection is untrusted when we awake, each passing day, knowingly that by sunset Those words would be read out loud Over an innocent, black brother’s grave site tonight Too many tears, too many mishaps who scattered those bullet caps, Too, many innocent lives have been taken By the hand of the nervous police, Even The birds keep gliding in the air shows solidarity In respect of the dead: Some human wish they were like them they said. A charge is one thing. A conviction is another Black lives does matter. Who pulled the trigger, which got the last laugh? The innocent or the victims More weeks of demonstration, the fight for the white house continues with words not arms Blood in the Inner City Streets, subways and shopping malls, bias and frustration, sound the alarms Who pulled the trigger, which got the last laugh? The guns, or the victims, My poetics tone this morning. voice your opinion*

Too Many Uncover Bullets Caps
*Earth to earth, Oh ashes to ashes and dust to dust, How strange, how familiar, human connection is untrusted when we awake, each passing day, knowingly that by sunset Those words would be read out loud Over an innocent, black brother’s grave site tonight Too many tears, too many mishaps who scattered those bullet caps, Too, many innocent lives have been taken By the hand of the nervous police, Even The birds keep gliding in the air shows solidarity In respect of the dead: Some human wish they were like them they said. A charge is one thing. A conviction is another Black lives does matter. Who pulled the trigger, which got the last laugh? The innocent or the victims More weeks of demonstration, the fight for the white house continues with words not arms Blood in the Inner City Streets, subways and shopping malls, bias and frustration, sound the alarms Who pulled the trigger, which got the last laugh? The guns, or the victims, My poetics tone this morning. voice your opinion*
