Furgson Shooting Poem by Jason Callender

Its hard to bear
what i hear
loosing so many lives this year
the black life is worth something
yet we are killed for nothing
whites cannot take the drama
they do not want another president Obama
a black man in power
So kill them all they say
the chief says
do not make them live another day
they shoot us down
beat us on the ground
spray pepper spray
in our face
Set the dogs on us
and in the police you trust
when will you stand up
so much power
yet they kill every hour
if u do not unify
then do not cry
everytime one of your child dies
