Challenge
In a dream
Dreaming
Police!
Freeze!
Drop the weapon!
Hands above your head!
Confused and scared by how those harsh words presented themselves
my knees bent inwards, I was choking on my words,
concentrated urea solution was dripping down my thighs
I tried to explain,
"There is no weapon, only a cell phone,"
"Not every black person is strapped or harm!"
He looked at me, he saw my skin
he already convinced himself that he saw evil,
I was kissed by a bullet straight through my chest
my blood splattered,
wasted on the ground
I screamed my last words as I came to death,
They turned the lights on.
My friends looked at me.
Thankfully, this was all in a dream,
except the part of me being BLACK.
