“I Can’t Breath”
Muscle memory
They will still
Reach for their guns
Swing their batons
Grip their tasers
They will still
Roll their eyes
Bend bias from their lips
Lift white power and enforce blue
They will still
Feel imaginary resistance
Site fictitious felonies
Beat on brown
Tomorrow
Again
Just like yesterday
Be ready to flex back

Just here looking at all the protests around the US even China. I don’t believe in burning businesses but I’m glad ppl are taking a stand on such a large scale. I pray good will come of it.

Unfortunately, nothing has changed.
All those protests seem to have hardened their hearts even more.
These brazen public shootings are a testament of the pushback against human and civil rights activists.
The body count keeps rising.
