LICENSE 2 KILL
(In Memory of Sean Bell)
NO LONGER COMFORTED BY YOUR PRESENCE
AS A PEOPLE…….RATHER CONFUSED BY YOUR PRESENCE
ARE YOU HERE 2 HELP OR HURT
THE ANSWER 2 THAT QUESTION COMES 2 LATE…..
AFTER SHOTS ARE FIRED (50 TIMES)
A LIFE IS SENSELESSLY LOST
A FATHER GONE
PARENTS LEFT BEHIND 2 MOURN
A HUSBAND 2 BE, STOLEN AWAY
YET…..ANOTHER, YES ANOTHER BROTHER FATALLY TAKEN AWAY….AGAIN
WHEN WILL IT END?
DOES YOUR POSITION, RATHER IS YOUR BADGE A LICENSE 2 KILL?
(A YEAR LATER AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED, AND ITS HEART BREAKING. YOU CANT BE STOPPPED BY THE POLICE,BE BLACK AND HAVE EVEN A BRUSH IN YOUR HAND….OR WALLET IN YOUR HAND THAT YOU PULLED FROM YOUR BACK POCKET & NOT GET SHOT ) IN MEMORY OF ALL THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN POLICE SHOOTINGS……….THERE R 2 MANY.
- CONSCIENCE

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Your poem is right on time and on point.
We have gone through so much yet haven’t gone to far. The truth of the matter is we as a society get treated poorly by the people with badges.
