Mike Brown

I'm not a racist, just saying what's right and not...

The story of Mike Brown made me frown. The white cop that took a black kid down. I know in heaven he's got a crown. Truth be told, black kids are no longer safe in this town. Where's the justice? We're not stupid, we notice. Who's meant to protect us if not the police. Our brothers are dying, mothers are crying, the earth is pleading because of the blood that's spilling. Our hands are up, are the signs not clear enough or is trying not to kill us that tough. We don't like what happened to Big Mike, white cop why did you still strike when you saw the unharmed sign. Were you blind or the love you have for a black man was that hard to find. I think you went haywire, ran but didn't get tired, in the end you still fired. Its dreadful, a tragedy that's hurtful, a memory that's glued to our hearts. Now we all weep, the judge was biased, still playing tricks as the time ticks and that makes me sick. I'm from another part of the world observing the drama on board and wondering what the hell is wrong. So to Darren Wilson, please carefully listen and don't think I'm dissing. The town of ferguson is mourning and you're the reason. You took a life and that's not right. Kill your pride and don't defend that. I know you're white but if you think you're supreme then that's a lie. You might be free now but your soul is still caged down. One day when karma takes place, you're gonna remember Mike Brown's face.

Here in my city of Detroit. 800 kids die a year from drugs, guns and no job. It is a poor person problem. Poor black, white and brown had little real opportunity. Mike Brown is just a scape goat and guilty. USA had a lot of problems. When 3% of the population have 95% of the wealth. You are create a explosion bomb. Time to educate all kids and give them opportunity. Fix the problem, not create more. Thank you for sharing your powerful poetry and thoughts.
