Walking

This is for every Black man who has been killed because of racial violence. It is unfair, but it continues, and I am unsure when or if it will ever cease. Until that time, I will be a voice for those who cannot speak.

Here we are just walking

down the street

saying

saying

Damn another one gone

Blood marks on the streets

Police cars all around

Granny sitting on the corner

hands on her face

Tears rolling

Mother's yelling

uncontrolling

Father's knelling

by his son's body

Why did they shoot him (Whispers)

Why did they shoot him!!! (Screams)

He was walking in a neighborhood

Where no one knew him

Walking

Are You Serious

A black man gone

Early to soon at the break of dawn

This has been going on way to long

The police keep trying to make wrong right

We have to fighting

for the ones that's dying

Let's keep trying

and stop denying

Keep the parents from

crying

Keep the caskets from

buying

Keep the killers from

lying

WHEW......I tried of this

Watching my sisters in black dresses

Seeing my brothers in black suits

Ordering shirts that's say

REST IN PEACE

Sitting under a tent

This is just too much and

It has got too stop

Let's keep the brothers

from holding their friend's body

Wasting money on obituaries

it's all just so unnecessary

Picking out pictures

to remember them by

Why are we paying a pastor

to speak on their lives

My head is spinning

"I CAN'T BREATHE"

Unfortunately, was something that was

trending

We want our black men to keep winning

so, stop the killing

We want our black men to know its

okay to go
