Copy and Paste
my words
from Terence Crutcher's murder
a few days ago
into the murder of
Keith Lamont Scott
that happened yesterday
They are trying
to reduce us to
copying and pasting
the same emotions
into different
days of the week
actually, in the SAME week
No time
for words that rhyme
my fingers
just type
my uninterrupted
emotions
my sad
uninterrupted
emotions
I will continue
to lift
my people
and their
families
I hold
a special
place
in my heart
for them
Gone but not forgotten
