As I see this police brutality, it has become a reality As many people are getting hit with these bullets of casualties And the reality of this reality And these bullets of casualties Are That it's really sad to me To be Push to the left Of this pain of death Like Trayvon Martin As I saw a Black boy With happiness and joy As he went to the store Not to get stereotyped As dangerous and poor And to be treated like a bore An animal of sorts And to be made into a deadly corpus His body That lay in the morgue And his parents That cried O'Lord And their tears That's filled with the death of their son And the injustice of justice that goes undone These tears They weigh a ton Like the bullet of a gun That killed Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown But the ones that shoot these guns Are never convicted But theyβre the ones who get assisted and enlisted And the Black boyβ He's the one who gets unlisted and convicted When he's convicted He's thrown and twisted Into just another statistic So, as I pray Hoping this police brutality Will goes away One Day As shells of the bullets Hits me where I lay
This is Poem 7 of my first book, Traumatized: The Conscious Reality
Traumatized: The Conscious Reality is an introspective perception through my brown wide eyes while growing up in Chicago, seeing pain, love, and trauma. As disappointment looms in the abyss, while trying to obtain knowledge as I reach for success. Edging on the cusp of greatness, while trying to break the curse of generational trauma.
