 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan



Four gun related killings last week
Many time convicted convict
Surronded by police refusing demands
Convictions requiring no guns in possesion
Shot by police, the police are being investigated
Taken off their job for several months
Black lives matter
Two kids thirteen and fourteen
Not able to drive but they carried guns
Not able to own guns but they had them
So the headlines read, "Innocent Athlete killed in shooting."
hard worker, great grades, pillar of the neighborhood
My heart bled a Little
I coached kids like him
The punks who shot him I wanted removed from earth
Now the whole story comes out
Who was selling the drugs the athlete of the year.
Black lives do matter
Where are the adults in blame
That any of these boys are raised 
not knowing the difference between right and wrong
It is time for all races to speak out against drugs
A black Honda pulls up and shots two men
The two men shoot back the library riddled with bullets
Which of the gangs do we blame
We blame they do not have jobs
It appears that they all hve guns
Where are the parents,oh, right men in prison?
Society blamed for that they were busy getting
Tattoos no time to look for work
