Black Bodies

Black Bodies

A Poem by Diamond Dunbar

Black bodies laying in the middle of the street.

No sudden movements when they got you because they'll shoot you for anything.

Don't matter if you did it, they don't care about your case.

Execution is necessary if the suspect is black anyway.

Black bodies decaying on the concrete.

It's sad that death can be justified with a simple suspension that includes pay.

I guess an innocent life is a reward just like any other gang.

They tell us they're here to serve and protect but fro they're track record they haven't done too much of that.

Black bodies rotting away for everyone to see.
