Black doesn’t mean bad
White doesn’t mean good
Hispanic doesn’t mean illegal immigrant
Asian doesn’t mean oriental
No seriously the word oriental quite literally refers to carpets
Back to the poem
These are all a matter of perception
But no interjection can stop a cop’s gun
I saw his black body
a corpse rotted and rung
no amount of interjection could stop a cop’s gun
words couldn’t save him
Now the Black one’s done
and I could be next…
