People are dying,
Daily,
But not in passive tense
They are killed
In police custody
Black
Men
And
Women
Are killed
In police custody
Native American Indian
Men
And
Women
Are killed
In police custody
La Raza
Men
And
Women
Are Killed
In police custody
Prisons are bursting
Inflated warehouses
Bloated with
Black
Native American Indian
Raza
Men
And
Women
There is no compassion
Only a passion
To protect Americans
From The Other (Americans)
Death
And
Warehouses
Because evidence
Of injustice
Is not enough
