Breaking news

Breaking news…

All …over the land…

Black man refused to stand

…for the pledge of allegiance,

In protest of the increased, unjustified

…killing, by police

Of unarmed black men…

 

From the land of the brave…

…to the home of the free

 

Excuse me if I seem… confused…

When the current law of the land

Is being used …to abuse, and deny…

Fair play …and just rules 

For trying to follow …the dream…

Instead of being treated like fools

For, with the way you see me

A remote, improbability…

Instead of putting my head down…

A sad, dejected… clown…

Defeated, knocked to the ground

Time to pause, reflect… reject the status quo…

Rise… and be counted

Time to regroup…

The jungle drums have sounded…

Flash forward, light speed …note taking

Making due …calls… with

Nearly instantaneous connections

From the posting of views

To the texting …of real time news

Now that the lessons have been learned,

And the tables have turned…

Let’s talk in calm tones, sensibly…

And try to settle this …peacefully

Let’s get beyond talk of flesh tones,

And nursery rhymes

…talking about sticks and stones

Fool, there’s a riot going on…
