Mr. Brown


Click Clack! Sweat was sliding down my face Bang! I was reflecting about the actions taken that wiped me without a trace. Now, I am looking down from these white cloud skies At all the chaos of the unarmed men crying goodbyes. Filled with unanswered questions I wonder about Mr. King He said, we are fighting this war to commence the declassifying. For the color of my skin that holds years of judgment Unfairly accusations, suffering pain and injustice is constant. Just a silver badge with a title and some clothes Elevated to human rights abuse that followed. Many of us make mistakes through life, we learn and grow Did it have to be taken to full measures when I received that blow? I refuse to complain of what took place Lives are ending because of brutality with no whiteface. Boom, Boom, Aghh! are the sounds we hear of a dead man down So are you doing the job or taking advantage through the whole town? The problem started with racism and has dispersed as violence While innocent unarmed civilians are protesting in silence! With all the noise what’s in the ruins lies confusion and miseries Authorities have elevated to the road crossing the all the boundaries. Do not stand behind, rise for our rights and values Gather the evidence so solutions make way to these issues. Equality, justice and peace have fallen upside-down But everywhere hope and love calls for the people to speak for Mr. Brown.
