STOLEN LIFE
Dante Pomar
What were they thinking?
Or were they thinking at all?
Or they thought it was a game?
Anonymously, they speed through the dark streets.
Mounted in a black beast, wearing their blue cloaks.
Death is in their glare.
Down they go chasing him into a dark alley and,
Suddenly, smashing his head!
Handcuffed – my sweet boy lays motionless.
With his brain splatted like a watermelon.
However I endlessly ask why.
What was mine won’t be anymore;
not his sweet cool smile that now hangs in my living room against
a white cold wall.
While the uniformed men finish their shift, take off their blue cloaks,
and they kiss their son good night.
I want parents and everyone to wake up to the horrific reality of our justice system that allows its police to brutalize and murder our sons and daughters with impunity.
One must never accept injustice as a commonplace, but must fight with all one’s strength because tomorrow it could be your loved one that may encounter the brutal hand of the “injustice” system.
I urge everyone not to be silent and be out in the streets On April 14, 2015. TO STOP BUSINESS AS USUAL, NO SCHOOL, NO WORK, SAY NO MORE TO THE SYSTEM GIVING A GREEN LIGHT TO KILLER COPS: Stop Mass Incarceration Network
