Queens & Kings Remembered in Time

Firearm holstered

Comfort level upholstered

Hunting season begins for wildlife

Never ends for African American plight

Melanin?

They want to mail-it-in

Forget about the ballot

Culturally speaking, we cultivate their palate

Ringside cheers for a knockdown

Knees on Floyd’s neck while they press down

Celebrating the GOAT at every chance

Choreographing Breonna’s ‘Last Dance’

We pour out into the streets

They spill our blood onto the streets

Touch gloves or tip-off never the matter

See…

They pull-up just to make us fade away

8 shots connected after a 20-round spray

A ratio close to half-a-dollar

Badges exuding a false sense of power

See…

Kenneth never got to walk her down the aisle

Reed was never read his rights

Ahmaud wasn’t running for first place

He wanted to keep running this human race

Steven was temporarily thinking Birmingham Baron

Melanin?

Mental health crisis need not apply

Left barren

To release these thoughts from my mind

I was going to go bird watching

Then I thought about…
