Young black boy walking down the street. The best thing he owned were the Nikes on his feet the, clothes on his back, the smile with his teeth. Living in the world where skin color is deceit.

A cop rolled up and he started to kick it. Big bro told him this is how he should live it, but big bro locked up doing 25 to life, daddy left home, and momma's on the pipe. So, now he's just a young black boy who may never see the light, even on this day where the sun shines bright.

As the story goes to the boy is still running. The cop gets fed up so he decided to gun him. Pop pop! Two shots in the back, that's a man down. The cop had to finish him off so, he put one in his crown. Why'd the cop do it, especially when the boy was down? Was his life threatened by the boy who now lies on the grown?

What becomes of this cop, who was cruising on the so called “bad side of town?” Does he get a raise, a medal, a reward for gunning another black man down? It is one less hustler, gangster, robber, or what the black boy was presumed to be off the streets. Or maybe it was the cop's duty to fill this town with more of the hate that already lingered around.

The day is filled with darkness, but the sun is still bright. Now neighbors, friends, and families all see the light. The boy had nothing on him, but the lies in his head, the fright in his heart, and the target on his back. When will the world see suffered prejudiced just because he was black?

Imagine living in a world with a pistol aim towards your back and as soon as you make a move everyone starts to attack. Imagine you knew that boy with the bullets in his back. Imagine if that was your best friend coming to see you that bright summer’s day just so y'all could chill and kick back.

Rest in peace young black boy you've served your purpose. You've shown that hope in humanity is lost and laws are worthless. Our people fought for what it seems like we fight against today.

Give a gun to a man and he'll show his true face. Pin a badge on that man and he gets away with murder. So, who's to say it is safe because the ones who are supposed to be protecting are the ones killing our sons and daughters.

We can only get through by the grace of God and if you don't believe you're still not a lost cause. Don't turn the other cheek, don't sit in defeat, listen to the words I speak, because the things I seek can still be reached. If we all come together, peace, love, happiness, and unity is what we'll teach.
