The Life of a Black man

poetaddict365

You got ops you got cops
They both taking shots  
If you black you get spot  
Shot at at the block 

Shoot first 
Questions later 
Was he armed 
No he was black 

Just trying to hustle 
Not build a castle 
Put food on the table 
Get his family a couple of meals 

Now he shot at 
Dying bleeding 
His only crime
He was black 

BLM

    I'm always amazed when anyone gets shot, cos you would assume there's got to be some sort of training when using a small arm. So I think you're right, it's a crime against Black people.

    Let's find out who you are first, before I take this seriously. Since this is a big issue, I would like to be sure that it is direct witness rather than an imaginative piece ..
