If I'm being real,
I feel sorry for you
that humanness has
clearly been stripped from
your soul.
how can you be so
deluded so as not to see
that it is your brother's
neck you're crushing under
your knee?
God have mercy on you
how depraved you must be
to have
no remorse, no empathy
talk about family dysfunction.
to fear your brother
because he does not look
like you
though in fact, we do.
same body, same function
just different features,
darker hue
to tell the truth
I'm disgusted.
I'm shocked beyond relief
so much so,
I can't even cry
the grief I would feel
is paralyzed by disbelief
how do you process
this gross dichotomy??
protect and serve?
whom, praytell?
I just can't believe it.
what were you thinking?
with that smug look
upon your face?????
how can you knowingly take
the life of a man
helpless...already constrained?
did you get joy from that?
a sick satisfaction?
because this clearly
was not fear in which
you were acting
the next time you are on your knees,
I hope to God for your sake it is to pray
Pray for salvation and redemption,
beg and plead for forgiveness
I hope God gives you a heart
that bleeds
I hope you lose your breath as you weep,
in fact, I hope you lose sleep
with the blood curdling refrain
"I can't breathe" on repeat
SEE the face of the man
you crushed under your knee
until you feel,
until you see,
until you speak,
there will be no peace
