All in one

I

        

In 2015

We had over 50 African American deaths

All because they look suspicious

They were just trying to have some fun

Or were innocent people

I didn't know

Wearing a black hoodie

Meant we deserve a bullet to our head

Or taking the train with friends across town meant "Line up against the wall your under arrest"

Somebody getting shot

Effects all of us

Why do we have to worry about tomorrow

When tomorrow should be promised

But tomorrow seems like a broken promise

Because we didn't make it to see tomorrow

        

Black lives matter will be something I say

Till I die

We are in 2016 now

You would think the shootings would stop

Another headline on the TV says

"Unarmed African American shot and killed by a white police officer"

Protest in different cities increase

So does the death rate of African Americans

Felix Kumi

An innocent bystander who was shot and killed during a sting operation just because he was standing near the suspect

How many years did the officer get?

0

Michael Sabbie

Sprayed by police with pepper spray while in jail and died soon after

        

How many years did the officer get?

0

Lets just say the tables turned

And an African American cop kills a white person

They would get jail for life

Skin tone doesn't define personality

Skin tone doesn't determine our actions

Skin tone defiantly doesn't predict our death date

The future should be something we cherish

Not be afraid of

The future is unpredictable

It is sad when we can predict the future

At times

Living a normal life

Isn't normal at all

We should be able to live

        

No matter the race or color

We should all

Be able to breath
