Eye For An Eye (AmeriKKKa’s 27 millionth Black Life)

One more Black man’s life, zapped in a flash—
       Pow
Another Black womxn’s life after Life after Life after Life
       as body
       as brown blob
       as She screams and bellows, “Wait!”
   
Stolen in the night
Zapped
Zapped
Zapped

   Pow
   Pow
   Pow
   Pow

To late, to wait.

Brown blobs
      Wait
Black Dads who held short humxns
       Wait
Black Mom’s who laughed at Their daughters’s jokes
        Wait
Uncle Junior who was never the same after the war
         Wait
Mr. Arbery’s afternoon jog, turned into a run for His
Life

Life
“Wait!”

Our innocence doesn’t mean anything to the sheep devils
Mr. George Floyd’s politeness didn’t mean a thing
Mr. Rayshard Brooks slept it off to

         Protect and Serve

Black Man running for His
     Life
Frantically, trying to save His
     Life
Back turned, He ran for His 3 Daughter’s and Stepson’s
     Black Lives
                                HUMAN LIVES

Black Lives, exhausted Lives

“I can’t breath”

“I need to SCREEEAAAAM!!!”

               Black Lives as Voter
               Black Lives as “We will burn the whole town down.”
               Black Lives as
                           
                                           EYE FOR AN EYE.



We are not them and
They are certainly, not Us.
