scarlet skies shout
bloody
rage
at the sci-fi
horror story human society
has become.
there is
no more peace in the blackness
of night. only gunshots,
only cries for
justice
and the children who
are gone now.
in a time where
empty hands aren’t a crime
unless those hands aren’t white.sooty-black skies
yell one hundred and thirty five names in the night
you say their names, you say their names
but don’t tell them their rights.
in a time where living in
the Land of the Free means
people must fight for their lives.these sidewalks are not
battlefields and
these streets were not paved to be
cemeteries.
who will protect you from the ones
who were supposed to be
protecting us?
in a time where we preach equality
but continue to sweep
injustice under the rug.
for every unarmed black man and woman who has been killed by police, for their families and friends, for all people of color who have to fight for the basic human right to live when they shouldn’t have to. black lives matter. // a.s.m
