i know I could've been the one
who caught
the bullet
instead of you.
I could've been in the crossfire
of hate.
Trayvon
will you forgive
me
for walking up to the ABC store
in a hoodie and jeans.
I hate that the world
has become a place of suspicion.
I wish that love
could
conquer
stereotypes.
I wish my love
could
conquer
racism
and
misplaced
suspicion.
i could've been the man
shot down.
That's why it's so important
to don
a hoodie
in 80 degrees
because the degree of separation
isn't that much
of
a
degree.
