In light of the acquittal of the police officers who murdered an unarmed Amadou Diallo, I offer “coincigenocidal”. Their acquittal is the proof that African-Americans are systematically being wiped off of the face of the earth . . . legally.
In light of the acquittal of the police officers who murdered an unarmed Sean Bell, I offer “coincigenocidal”. Their acquittal is the proof that African-Americans are systematically being wiped off of the face of the earth . . . legally.
In honor of all of the unarmed African-Americans killed by police officers in cold-blood, those unarmed African-Americans who will never receive justice, I offer:
coincigenocidal
perhaps it’s me, but,
i don’t doubt that it’s not.
perhaps it’s silly,
but, then,
i’m just not the type,
to simply fall for the hype.
there’s more to this than meets my eye,
and, i’d say that i know the reason why,
but, it can also happen to the little guy,
as easily as
to anyone else.
to stay alive, to survive,
it’s expedient not to accuse,
for to do so can be suicidal.
therefore, all i can say is that things
are, perhaps, not as i thought.
it’s probably just coincigenocidal.
this is my
beloved ghetto,
it is my
peace within chaos, my home . . .
that diminishes
daily.
they say that our drug addiction is suicide,
as clearly no government practices homocide.
therefore, that means
that we
are the systematic geniuses,
thus, we
the chemical masterminds
that gave us this drug called crack,
taking lives that we’ll never get back.
but hey, . . . sometimes, i’m super suspicious.
it’s probably just coincigenocidal.
those were my
beloved leaders,
they were my
hopes of holding my own, my guides . . .
that quickly faded
away.
they say that we have a way of killing off our own,
or, that our leaders were killed by assassins acting alone.
malcolm
had courage,
and, he made the x change,
and, martin
would be the one
to soften that change,
and make it all click,
until one day we got jealous, and gunned malcolm down,
and, then, martin made speeches on the wrong side of town.
so . . . pardon my paranoia:
it’s probably just coincigenocidal.
