Go ahead and shoot.
No need to say, “My Brotha.”
No need to plea for life.
So many fought to be free Slaves.
So many died for rights.
Who am I to ask for more time?
Why should I think of?
You think of—
Who I shall leave behind?
You look like me.
I resemble you.
Go ahead and shoot.
Not surprised,
Should be surprised.
But this is just what we do. ©
