Do not speak to me About what the dead could have done To not be dead Do not speak of drugs Quick feet Fear and fleeing Do not share Suspensions and suspected Toxicology Do not call Boy man Man demon Do not speak of Superhuman strength Black magic Where guns magically manifest Then disappear in body cams Do not reference Anything but the blood That flows in all of our veins Congealing on concrete Do not tell me that badges Are not the blame That mistakes are not manslaughter That a hit and run And the pulled trigger of a gun Aren't worthy of the same consequence Do not tell me That being an officer is hard When you have not hugged the rigor mortis On your husband Do not tell me they were scared When a child doesn't want to be tucked in Because they saw Their brother under a white sheet Or when they miss their Bullet ridden closed casket sister Do not tell me what could've been What should have been When it's always been Eff a Blue flag Do not tell me about bad apples When the tree was planted To do exactly what it does When the tree only grows From my people's misery And promotions come from arrest data And not servitude Would rather sign settlement checks Than pink slips Terminations That could protect whoever They would have targeted next Do not speak to me about forgiveness When your apology comes to me Empty of justice You do not get to say anything about Healing Unity Hope Thinking you can Hashtag Prayer hands Sad emoji the racism away Do not set your mouth to say that You can't believe this is happening When our society has always Made lynching go by another name Be silent if you cannot improve upon it Bite your tongue Till you taste The copper in your mouth Or the saline flowing to your lips For I believe There is a special place in hell For those who Are angered by our grief And can't comprehend Our rage
