Shame

The knee upon the neck
Should be a metaphor
At worst, deployed to check
Excessive force. Race war
Should be a term we use
Only to make a case
About how whites refuse
To face how we treat race.
We shouldn't have to see
White officers kill blacks
As normal as can be
And then cover their tracks.
Yet every day we do;
Black Lives Matter too.
