A black and brown body

Outlined in white,

red blood watering concrete

Because of shades of blue

White lies defining how

My God

There’s a war on colors

Ever since we been coloring in coloring books

They been booking colors in books of obituaries

You should be worried

Cause even those that survive

Lose years of their life

In beige and gray boxes

With no windows

When they come out

You can barely see their souls

through their windows

look lost

And I’ve lost myself in tears

Found myself here

Crying

I haven’t yet

Grieved over Trayvon

He looks so much like me

When I saw him

I thought

I died

Let’s raise Sons (suns) like morning

Too many Sons we’re mourning

Too many raisins in the sun
