in stereotype it pegs me, as...
One who is up to no good
One who must be from the hood
and talk in slang
One who must be a member of a gang
Uneducated of course
A troublemaker of sorts
But what I am is Kind
To my Color, I am blind
But to many others I am a crime
waiting to be committed
A suspect without reason "She did it."
Deemed a threat to society
Improperly judged
When will enough be enough?
How many of Us
have to die before trust is restored?
Before they see me as more
than My Black Skin,
and see me instead as simply human?
