morning meditation
an evening
of pleasant dreaming
was shattered by the ringing
of alarms
and the community screaming
not again, not again
and i rise
wondering
when will they come
for me
we stay
marching
protesting
denounced as rioting
and vandalizing
and accused of whining
when we
are literally begging
for the killing
to stop
