Illegally Black

Looking, watching, unsettling Eyes.

Watching, staring, unnerving Glances.

I walk by, but they don’t say Hi.

Then, I see another look at Me.

What did I do?

What did I Say?

Do they see a Monster?

Am I their Prey?

One jumps on their phone

to call their Blue Drones.

”Come quick, Come quick there’s one more of them!”

”Come quick, Come quick to pacify my Sin!”

They came quick, They pulled out their Sticks.

They even pulled out their Guns.

They also pulled out the ones

that are made just to Stun.

Even more approach

and I start to back up.

”He’s Running, He’s Running

Look Out…GUN!”

Finally, it’s time for them to do

what they‘ve been Summoned to do.

I don’t understand. I say ”I haven’t done a thing!”

But on Angry ears, my Words do ring.

I hear them call words,

but that’s Not my Name!

They keep coming, they keep Calling.

Like this is some sort of Game!

They push me to the ground

to keep me in check.

One foot on my back.

One knee on my Neck!

”What have I done wrong?”

Seems to be Our theme song.

They do not reply.

I no longer need to ask why.

I start to wonder,

as More start to come.

Is this my last day,

is my life finally done?

Out of the dark

there‘s someone else New.

But this one is different

but she looks just like You.

Her words BOOM like Thunder.

I can see Pain in their faces.

She pushes him, he doesn’t push back.

She pulled out her Stick, still they don’t fight back.

She walks over to me,

she gets down on one knee,

and helps me to my feet.

The cuffs come off.

My face full of Anger.

With her by my side,

I no longer feel danger.

She‘s one of Them

but One of them she is NOT!

”THIS IS WRONG, THIS IS NOT WHAT WE DO, THIS SHIT HAS GOT TO STOP!”

She takes my statement.

She sends me on my way.

I hurry! I Run! I don’t look back!

All of this…All of THIS

because I am…ILLEGALLY BLACK!
