It was Nov 24th 2014
When the verdict was reached
Darren Wilson
A man who was sworn to protect the innocent
Killed a young innocent black man
And was set free
Black lives
My life
All my brothers and sisters lives
Around the world don't matter
We are not seen equal to those who since the beginning of time
Deemed us lower than them
We are not seen human enough for our lives to be valued
Every day a young black man dies
Why?
Because of fear and paranoia
Still nothing has been done to stop this
A young man who was going to start college
Dies
No justice in this country we call America
Land of the free
Land for all immigrants
They don't care for us
They fear us
They want us dead
Gone like the speck dust at the corner of a book shelf
One day I will have to tell my children
That they will always be seen as less than
Not worth the dirt on their shoes
Why
Because they are black and in this world that's a death
Sentence within its self
Mike Brown
My brother I want you to rest in peace
Even though our supposed justice system didn't give your death justice
We love you
This day will never be forgotten
It was Nov. 24th when once again
Black people were reminded that their lives
Their beautiful precious lives
Didn't matter
