another one shot down by the police
bleeding and bleeding until he
couldn't breathe
we know the storyline well enough
to fill in the blanks left up to us
but we mustn't riot or start fights
we have to rewrite history and
make it right
so next time another one is shot down by the police
do not use violence but only words
you speak-K.J.P
