"DEATH'S SYSTEM": A free verse poem by FJT

Life is Finite
Death is Eternal

They are Each Others Companion
Each Others Everlasting Champion

Race is the Chain
The Legal System the Ball

Strive as You Might
There is No Justice in Sight

It's for the Few
And not the Many

Cry for the Lost
Acknowledge the Cost

Die Today
Live Tomorrow

That's not a Promise
It's Filled with Sorrow

Mother's Grieve
Children are put through a Sieve

The Plight of the Black
Is Unbeknownst to the White

It's an Arcane System
And We, It's Minions


(In reference to the death of unarmed black men at the hands of the police)
