TWO MORE INNOCENT YOUNG MEN KILLED IN SHOOTING

By Dan Donlan, www.PoetryPoem.com/dandy1    Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime


No police were involved
But uniforms were involved
So far no rioting
or televisions stolen
The men killed were working
At a filling station in Kent, Wa
They were white men
Shame on them
A Black Cadilac pulled up
Rap music blaring and blocking
Other patrons from filling up
Man with record for pulling gun before
Pulled a gun and shot both workers
I am just beside myself picking on these black boys
Doing nothing but demanding their space
Mom well show up in court
Demanding a demonstration against police
The brutality of how they treat
My innocent young boy just establising his manhood
Where is reality in all this?
Alpert Sharkskin is flying in from Chicago
