Why am I being detained? Stop resisting!
I am not resisting, I am simply asking what I did wrong.
Get on the ground now. Hands up! But sir I have not done anything wrong, why are you doing this to me? Sir… SIR! I CANNOT TAKE IT! I CANNOT BREATHE! I cannot- You are hurting me! PLEASE! PLEASE! STOP!
His life flashed before him, if only he could have looked into the future and saw this coming.
When he woke up this morning, it never crossed his mind that maybe today would be his last.
The ones that were supposed to protect him, killed him. But why?
The question was never answered because there was simply not any reasonable answer, besides the color of his skin.
He is filled with melanin, creating a beautiful brown color. So beautiful that it is targeted.
You know, he was a Harvard student. He was in his last year of college, getting ready to take the steps in opening his own business.
The protectors did not see this, all they saw was the color of his skin.
The beautiful brown melanin.
Were they jealous?
He was a threat because of this?
What makes everything worse, is his friend was driving and was let go untouched.
Now if color was not a factor like they say, why was his white friend let go, untouched.
It is seen all the time.
Motherś burying their children because the protectors failed to protect.
Our world is filled with chaos. With divisions of color.
Marching. Chanting. Looting. Crying. Fear. Arrest.
The targeting has to stop. We are human. All coming from the same place.
History continues to repeat itself. Why? We can stop it. But the division of the skin is a vicious thing.
So everyday we see another person of color being taken by the protectors.
Another funeral is planned.
Another angel is gained.
