my mother took a switch off a branch
to whip my brother, he was hard to hold
he could not be controlled, so she called
the police, two white cops came out, one
took the rod from her hand and proceeded
to do the deed. I trembled in horror and
disbelief at the sight of my brother being
beat, by the policeman through all of the
grief inside of me,I could't speak,wondering.
what would she have done, if they had
handcuffed him and hung him from a tree?
did she know that was going to happen?
was she too scared to say something?
though I have never seen such thing, this can be
trusted, that night I witnessed a lynching.
