How long is it going to take

before black people can be treated as normal people and not enemies?

How long 

before those who were shot and killed by police can get justice?

How long

before police brutality can be stopped?

How long

before our lives become important?

How long 

before people realize that black people aren't a threat?

How long

before mothers and fathers who lost their child/ren can be at peace, knowing there is justice?

How long

before police officers are trained with proper tactics so another life isn't taken?

How long

before black people can live a normal life without a target on our backs?

HOW LONG?!

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I last wrote/typed a poem because of writer's block and the virus. But this has been on my mind for a while. Hope you enjoy it!
