This "Self-Defence" Shouldn't Be Justified

Another shooting
Another "accident"

How many members of our youth are going to be murdered before something is done about our legal system?

Since when are police officers allowed to murder children on the basis of race?

"He, uh, looked at me, so i naturally, needed to shoot him. It was self defence"

Explain to me how shooting a child seventeen times is still "self defence"

Our legal system is racist
And our youth lives in fear
Cannot go to a convenience store without the terror of losing your life

Please, please
They don't mean any harm

They have friends and family too

And some just want to get an Arizona sweet tea or a sandwich
Without being shot by some racist, white, bastard


And maybe this poem doesn't express how angry I truly am
But I'm pissed
There is no reason why America's black youth should have to be afraid to go to a fucking convenience store
White children aren't
Then again, white men are the bringer of evil
