Blood On Your Hands

CATEGORY

life

Views: 1192

Eyes lifeless stare, envision questions of ...why?

Bullets rips through body leaving carnage and destruction in a motionless state of being

Shocking fate as life slips away, breath shorten, veins open by shots from gun held in shaking hands. Continued demands of don't move!

Cry of anguish screams fills air, falling on deaf ears of the untouched, rationalizing actions to justify lives taken

Oath and pledges forsaken, as sites lock in on melanin skin, darker than your troubled soul haunting your criminal actions

Fractions of blood spilled on hands, easily washed away, but stained forever in hearts of loved ones lost

Fatal cost of another life taken, news captions breakin stories of...investigations must still be conducted

Day after day feelings of hopelessness erupted, fueling fire to nationwide protest. Civil unrest, as thousands refuse to digest the injustice of an evil and corrupt system

Paradigm shifting to criticism of an institutional racist system, granting open season to execute with no demands

When the peaceful protest ends, and the masses rise up to defend, the blood that flows will be...

On

Well said!. These are some strange times. The history books will miss how these events made us feel. Works like yours will help the future better understand the context. I appreciate your work.

It feels like a poetic- story.. If that makes sense? It pulled me in from the first sentence.. Not sure if I should be saying “great story or great poem”.. I like your message, flow and style.. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥
