Rampant and endemic police brutality...
flourishes against United States citizens of color
going on three years
post George Floyd
short lived heightened awareness
when #blacklivesmatter
in conjunction with 1619 project
wrought upwelling of progressive surge
hinting at positive transformations.
Despite random throw of dice
proffering gifting, blessing, et cetera
yours truly as Caucasian
agony, grief and particularly anger
roil these lovely bones
life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness
exempts those graced with darker skin tones.
