Policophobia

Fear of Police

The world we live in now

Isn't the one I was birthed in

Sometimes I sit and think what if this is the end

Got feds on Facebook claiming to be my friends

Just stop, I didn't do anything to be clocked

You don't know a damn thing

If you aren't white privilege

Then it's clear you must've forgot

If it was apparent to you, then you wouldn't question me

These are the same people that made me take sociology

Why haven't we learned that we must unite

How can we make a change

When we turn it into strife

Aren't there enough mothers in poverty

Why isn't that enough?

Yet our kings are are on probation based on sobriety

I see whites facing minimal charges

Yet a black man doing years for Larson

MLK said he had a dream

It's up to us

To show them what he means
