white supremacist
at the park
mistook a Cuban man
for a Black one,
hit him in the back of the head;
and told him to “stay down”
then called him a word i will not repeat—
& there needs to be consequences
for evil:
racism is not okay,
causing harm to others isn’t all right;
and i am tired of my fellow
white people
sweeping black lives under the rug—
if all lives matter
then why does it bother you when they
say black lives matter?
have you been oppressed for hundreds of years?
no, i don’t think so.
this is not okay,
and it is not the america i want
for the children of the future;
i want a better world for us all
we have to fight together
instead of being divided because united
we stand but divided we’ll fall.
