Police Brutality Poems
06/12/2018
As the wind blows the sirens get closer and closer
Sound of screaming in the distance
Another one down
Another one getting colder and colder
Falsely accused of putting up resistance

As I get closer to the terror
The police had left us a barrier
As I look over I witness something
Something terrible
Something unbearable
__________________________________________________________________
Every Hashtag Pounded too loud.
Every Journalist talked too much.
They shut us up and kept us from remembering that if they fixed the streets children
wouldn't have rocks to throw in the first place
