In The Mindset

It's truly remarkable That some in an advanced society Holds onto the wickedness of a barbaric era It's beyond the boundary of thought To wake up in the morning And watch a barbaric act of racism Where one man's life is squeezed out With the hammer of one's knee In the name of race Not even a care in the world Hands in the pockets A so called "policeman" Caught in a horrendous act Now the question is What created such a monster? Who gave him the audacity to kill? Is it the badge of law that he holds? Or a deep seated hatred An uncontrolled urge to expunge a black man's life It's in the mindset A carelessly held believe That a black man's life is worthless Until and unless this mindset is set ablaze And a new brand of consciousness is planted Many will continue to kill in the name of race Eight minutes and forty-six seconds Will forever be engraved in our minds To represent the mindset of cold blooded killer I pray for humanity to come together Under the envelope of common sense And denounce this heinous act Enough is enough ©
