 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


But for me Black lives have meaning is losing its message
In Auburn Washington a black gang car pulled up
Blocked the exit and the gang members flashed signs
At the construction works up above of all races
They played extremely loud rap music and intimated
Two gas station workers of mixed races came out to ask them to move
Both in a hail of bullets were shot and killed
It did not make national news
The marchers and NAACP did not show up
Just another daily crime in the City
This past month alone two black or asian gangs parked
side by side rival gangs and two Black lives that matter were killed
It is happening every day in our schools
A black football player in the parking lot was shot and killed
A fourteen and sixteen year olds were in school singing rap songs
It was a drug deal gone bad
No interest to the black community everyday occurance
But last week the man shot and killed by police
Suddenly Black lives took meaning
The Naacp took notice cops are killing our kids
The man in his thirties with a life of rap sheets prison time
Only recently out of prison with a car filled with narcodics
and carrying a handgun against his probation
Was told by police to raise his hand reached for a gun
Lead by the Naacp they are protesting in the streets
"Black lives mattter." It has become insane
The marchers of NAACP did not show up when a
A gang of far east Asian shot  up another rival gang
All lives matter no matter what color and we of all
races are being caught up in the middle of this drug dealing madness
