Our Brother's Keeper

Jakira (Right) & Lezae (Left)

Lézae

" What are you doing to her?! " I yelled while trying to get out of the handcuffs

" Shut up! I'm not gonna ask you again! " he yelled  

" No, what are you doing to my sister?! " I yelled back

" Put her in the back " he demanded

The officer roughly grabbed my shoulder and the cuff chains

" Your hurting me " I said

" Shut up " he said

He opened the door and threw me inside

I groaned from the pain coming from my wrist

Sitting up I had watched as they surrounded Kira

They helped her up but she was half way unconscious

They roughly and recklessly threw her against the car handcuffing her while saying something and then walked her over throwing her in too

She threw her head back groaning

" I fucking hate this generation " she said

" You good? " I asked

" No.... They shot Herb right in our face then forcefully and roughly handcuffed us for no reason! We did absolutely nothing! " she yelled crying all over again

I looked down and started crying again

" Poor Herb " I said while shaking my head as the tears blurred my vision

I saw Kira shaking her head

" We gonna fight for our brother no matter what " she said

" How? Two little black girls can't change this fucked up world we living in. We try to fight for what's right and we end up getting our black ass shot " I said

She tucked her lips in showing her bottom dimples

" That's why we not doing this alone " she said

I looked at her

" We may can't change the world, but we can still fight for what's right and not stop until we get what we want. What them officers want us blacks to do is be afraid of them so they can do nothing but make us their slaves all over again and guess what... " she said

I looked up at her in the eyes directly

" I will not ever be somebody's slave... They took our brother in front of us and I'm not finna stop fighting for him until I have this whole city yelling Justice for Herb " she said seriously

I rub my lips together and looked out the window with my head rested against the seat

" We are Our Brother's Keeper " she said

I nodded slowly while still looking out the window

8 hours later...

I rubbed Zae arm as she rested her head on my shoulder and I just thought to myself
