 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


And I totally agree
In Seattle a year ago
Black gang members
blocked the exit of a local gas station
Playing loud rap music
Constuction workers of several races
Were in a yelling match
Station works came to tell them to move
They were shot and killed
They were latino mixed races
It never made the news
The Naacp did not show up
It never even made National news
Recently there have been a rash of killings
Indeed many of them black youth
And yes I feel for black youth
Two cars of black gang members
pull up and have a shootout
Two are killed
No members of the black community steps forward in protest
Repeat that last one in triple
A black athlete piller of society is murdered
Two teenagers also black are singing rap songs
Turns out the pillar of society is selling the drugs
Where was the Naacp on vacation
But a known felon out of prison
Required to not carry a gun is apprehended
He reaches for a gun and the cops shoot him
The protesters are on the sreet, "Black lives matter"
Organized by the Naacp or whatever they are called.
To me every life matters
Including a bitter fourteen year old with a gun
