The Hate U Give

The Hate U Give

Michelle Smith

[This poem was inspired by the novel, The Hate U Give, by Angie Thomas.

I was there I saw it The blood The bullets One-fifteen My friend on the floor Dead Gone An accident? On purpose? He was more than A thug A drug dealer He was my friend Loved A giver A Family A big brother He deserved more Than death Than bullets Than his guts on the floor He deserves We deserve More Than The Hate U Give
