Poetry
Justified Fear One what seemed to be peaceful night I was pulled over and didn’t know why My music wasn’t loud and I wasn’t driving fast No broken car parts and a valid driver’s license with insurance I had. Before I could find out what the stop was all about The cop had opened my door and snatched me out Threw me forcefully to the ground Started beating me while no one was around I didn’t understand, I was so confused Too nervous to try to move Too afraid he was looking for a reason to shoot and kill I kept silent and remained still. Not knowing the cause nor effect but sure this was something I would never forget. The pain became too much so I took a chance and went to scream Only to realize I was in my room having a bad dream. Please don’t be upset with me over this thing Remember what happened to Malice Green and Rodney King!
