A poem a day for 2015 - day 27 - For Alexis Kane

Kansas City, MO
Three teenagers have been
Charged with shooting Alexis Kane
Multiple times
Multiple
How many shots does it take
To snuff the life out of a princess
Gone
Ever

Fourteen years old
Eighth grade
Black girl
Black
Girl

Three black boys
One black girl
Charged
Bang
Charged
Bang
Multiple

Eighth grade is for boy crushes
For fret over algebra
High tops or heels

Charged
Charged, charged
Alexis is still dead

Stop killing us
Brothers stop killing us
Taking our lives
Our babies
Breaking our
Future
