haiku rhymes: black realities in 10...

black reality…

maimed and killed on video:

daily news tv.

 

injustice must go---

what’s seen is no enactment;

it’s real as was meant.

 

all this must crap stop.

our lives are in jeopardy;

by hands of rogue cops.

 

no justice, no peace---

empty chants easily ignored;

when will the breach cease?

 

attempt self-defense,

and we’re a violent threat:

blacks with no damn sense.

 

next season will be:

keeping up with the new blacks---

hook on being free.

 

remember the dead---

no sequel will be for them:

they are really dead.

 

yes, we are alive---

fighting to the very end:

that our heirs survive!

 

let’s keep faith on set---

her flame must never go out;

she’s never failed yet!

 

faith---the horizon---

waits upon the rising sun

justice has been won!
