POPO’S COMING
Spotted the POPO
I hung back
I could see the wheels a ‘turning
Oh shit, he is black!
No, wait he is that N
In Negro or that other word
We like to say
Fuck-it, that cocksucker
Is going down today!
I could see it now
Things going awry
Sure as shit, my blackass is gon' die
His foggy breath in my face
Adrenalin squirting through his veins
Finger itching
Eyebrows twitching
Yearning a reason
To dig into my chest
Or, pump bullets through my brains
He’d say it was fear
I went for his gun
Deadly force was justified
Even though, I was on the run
As in, running away
No threat, I was posing
Just not choosing, to stay
And be a victim of his deadly wrath
Or, another bloody statistic
In his wicked, treacherous path
