Poetry | We All Can't Breathe

(First published by Borderlessjournal.com)

I’ve toured the whole protests;
All enjoined but one detest:
You cannot campaign for best
and converge for States – unrest!
It’s clear the Blacks… enraged
for some beasts are never caged
for the souls they take away
with the aid of cops that sway…

Count yourself a core racist
if you tag a race ‘racists’,
but you fail to curb your race
when they’re setting bays ablaze!

Or you fail to slam your folks
when they shun a lesser folk!
Or you act like deafs and dumbs
when they mess around the tombs!

There are beasts among the Blacks…
as we have some Whites in masks!
