CPR + Broken Windows= Imminent Danger for the Black Man!
by James Litkett
Some would make a case
For new-age genocide. I
Thought this game was old,
That we broke the mental hold.
But I still see a limit to
Our range, they still don’t
Understand the Black man.
Less alone to accept or
Respect us as people. Now
I feel so insecure from
the incidents, in which
we are broken, threatened,
put down, scared, intimidated,
manipulated, humiliated, battered
and murdered! For this pain I’m
so ashamed! The world is so cold
as if it’s our fault these injustices
were cast upon us. Or that we
can’t, don’t and some of won’t
recognize the power within.
Now in memory
Of Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis,
Eric Gardner, Anthony Baez,
Eleanor Bumpus, Clifford
Glover, Randolph Evans, Michael
Stewart, Amadou Diallo, Timothy
Stansburg, Sean Bell and Michael
Brown. The youngest of these
Martyrs being 10 years old!
For this pain I’m so ashamed.
For this pain I must proclaim
We are an endangered species
In this land of the free
Home of the brave
Where I’m still a slave!
And mind you this happens
In this time of the first Black
President! I declare this day
8/21/14 5:55 PM these actions and
Behaviors to be homicidal,
Criminal and genocidal to an
Already endangered species.
There must be true justice
No more tilted scales!
Where is my America?
I too seek life, liberty and
The pursuit of happiness!
