Due to continued ignorance, perpetuation of racist patriotism, and reshaping of the NFL narrative regarding kneeling players, the sole author of FreshNewsNow shares his sentiments with a poem.
“Written All Over” Composed as of: August 18
FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY
EVER SO OFTEN
WE SEE THE MINORITY
LAID DOWN IN A COFFIN
MOTHERS WEEP AUNTS LOSE SLEEP
OVER THEIR SLAIN NEPHEW OR NIECE
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FEAT
TO SHOOT A BLACK MAN POINT BLANK IN THE STREET
ONLY TO RECEIVE ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE
“NOT GUILTY YOUR HONOR” HOW THE WHITE COP PLEADS
AND THE WHITE JUDGE KNOWS
HIS EXACT ROLE
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IS WHAT HE CANNOT SHOW
BECAUSE WITHIN THE CONTEXT
WE ALL KNOW
A PIG’S FEAR IS WRITTEN ALL OVER HIS SNOUT NOSE
