They Not Only Shoot Horses Poem by angie bb hart

They Not Only Shoot Horses



Don't they?
Just ask friends & family
of Freddie Gray
Killed in Baltimore
The other day
A city upheaval
Tainted
Taunted
By racism's evil
Discouraged...
Communities fill with discord
Due to racial profiling...
News teamz compiling...
And the city
once film site of'The Wire'
Glows now, an earie red
As arsonists set it afire
While another person of colour
Is pronounced dead
Law enforcement takes the 5th...
So it's been seen,
So it's been said...
As reported...
As extorted...
Justice, again...aborted

How many paradigmz
How many hate crimes
How many tymez
Must Humans Rights
Be only addressed
in a writer's rhymez
