Great Poetry

No video of me

When we smashed cars

No video of those

When I witnessed shoplifting



No video of

The fights on my block

In the sports bars

Or frat house parties



No video of

My own parties

Underage drinking

And smoking pot



No video in my young 20s

In the parking lot

Aquaintances

Busted for drinking in public



No video

When pulled over

I was a passenger in a car

Of a guy in no shape



Statin Island

To Ohio

12 year olds

Or in a Walmart



Video or not

What is wrong

There are separate rules

Within our deep denial



A disturbed man

Sitting in a chair

Waves his gun

All arround



Another rman

Shoots at a lawyer

In front of a court house

For all to see



In both cases

They stay alive

Even with a gun

While others unarmed



Prosecutors

Indict a ham sandwich

Cosy with cops

Video or not



I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I can't breathe
