--Poetry Excerpt--
Is it really not enough when the rubber bullets fly
When the world is enraged from watching a black man die?
Gasping for breath and says I can’t breathe
His esophageal tube collapsed under a man’s knee.
Is it really not enough to wake in wake of hate
Perpetuated by a system dating back to negro slaves
Beat that black man make him pick cotton
Shoot that black man he looks like he’s up to something!
Is the American fury not enough for you
Crowds plowed by vans driven by the men in blue?
Who do you call when the cops are the killers?
When the body camera footage shows you murdering my brothers and sisters
Is the execution of man still not enough for you
Jury judge and executioner by the man in blue!
You look down at us for behaving like an angry mob
If every man is created equal what gives you the right to play God?

"These times are calling for understanding. The global movement to abolish racism is here," said Bianchi. "I tell the story honestly to offer a hopeful perspective on why the fury runs so deep."
