Running is always
Good exercise
Until it turns into the cries
Brought on
By the lies
Of the long
arm
Of the law-
Shooting unarmed
Black men
Has become sport;
And that picture
Is painted
Lives forever changed
A community becomes
tainted
Families
eternally changed
Out of control racism-
Oh, how deranged!
No one bats an eye!
The world's justice
Doesn't seem to care
Ahmaud's running
Is what brought us here
A faulty narrative
They would have
The world believe
Racists shoot down
Blackness;
Yet we get no reprieve
From police bullets
With no
warning
The impenetrable
And rancid side
Of the blue wall
Of silence
No guts
All glory
And we keep having
To hear the refrain,
"Not all of 'em are bad",
We. Are. Tired.
Of hearing that story
When will
The good ones
Start policing
The bad ones?
Perhaps
If they did
Ahmaud
Has a chance
To
live-
A vaccine
For Covid-19
The world looks for
So far
Sight unseen-
Who is seeking
The remedy
For unarmed black mens'
lives
Snatched!
This
pandemic
is our nightmare
As the world sleeps
*LetOurSonsRun
We'll wake
The world up
With our unending
SCREAMS
