Another man shot
He was doing nothing bad
Laying on the ground with his hands above his head
Another man shot
Helping an autistic boy
This man wasn't shot dead
No, this one was "lucky"
This man's life path is set to help others
Yet he was shot
And because of his skin color
He was deemed dangerous
Another BLACK man shot
With his hands above his head
But as they all say "racism is dead"

- Comment from author about the poem: An unarmed black man was trying to help a severely autistic boy who had run away from his group home. The man was laying down with his hands up. The autistic boy had a toy truck with him, which the therapist informed the police if.This man was then shot by the police.

That's totally fucked up. I hate racism. But this poem is deep.
I agree and thank you
It brings me great joy to know that this terrible tragedy has been lent recognition by your words.. perhaps, in time, we may rise above issues of race..
I'm hoping..When it comes time for me to have children I hope they won't grow up in a world of such hate.
