Like Last Year

By John Blase | September 9, 2014 |

Its been a month now.

C’mon, most of us have forgotten

the night sounds of Ferguson.

Hell, we’ve got fantasy football

and that enterovirus to

worry with now plus

HallowThanksgivinChristmas

is almost here, kids.

Yessir, all of that and so much

American more eracing

the blacker shades of brown.

But really, whatcha gonna do?

Whatcha gonna do?

Yeah, the time’ll change soon too.

Darker earlier, colder,

like last year.

Don’t forget the struggle that still continues, not just in Ferguson but for all people of color, everywhere.

I’ve stopped praying for peace, instead – justice.
