where is the law
when the law
is standing over you
and standing on you,
that a man can die
for no better reason
than for his colour
simply is unfathomable.
one has to wonder
why so little
has been learnt
all this time,
all these centuries.
how can someone be a threat
when one is cooperative,
patient and forgiving
only to be toyed with
then killed, murdered
as it were
in the darkness
that was apparently
not dark enough
for it to be captured
on film, as if
we do not have enough
evidence already
that racism is still
hiding in the shadows.
