a poem by [victoria]<\/h6>\n

When following commands get you killed:
\n<\/span>Hands up, don\u2019t shoot.<\/em>
\n<\/span>When mothers plead for justice:
\n<\/span>Hands up, don\u2019t shoot.<\/em>
\n<\/span>When the hurt hits hard and turns to violence
\n<\/span>Hands up, don\u2019t shoot<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

How they tell us racism is dead and shut up.
\n<\/span>Stop being entitled crybabies.
\n<\/span>Egos be crushed. Hearts are broken. Ignorance increased.
\n<\/span>Times are tough when you choose bleach <\/span>over Trump and Killary.
\n<\/span>Colin sit down to protect something going on, and all hell breaks loose.
\n<\/span>Hands up, don\u2019t shoot.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Black on black crime gets brought up.
\n<\/span>If I have a hole in my roof, and it\u2019s raining I call
\nthe landlord, and he says my lights aren\u2019t on.
\n<\/span>Both are problems. But only one will be fixed.
\n<\/span>The hole in the roof is the problem.
\n<\/span>Hands up, don\u2019t shoot.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

We know it\u2019s not all policeman and women
\nbut it\u2019s the ones who aren\u2019t speaking up
\nand speaking out against the bad ones.
\n<\/span>Hands up, don\u2019t shoot<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We the people right? Your life matters,
\nyour voice matters. Your choices matter.
\nBe brave, be strong and don\u2019t be a bystander to injustices.
\n<\/span>Hands up, don\u2019t shoot<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
