A poem a day for 2015 - for day 106 - Burn Hollywood

Burn Hollywood
Burn Hollywood
Burn lies about looting and rioting
Burn marches burn
Run marchers run
Fight marchers fight

Carry sticks and stones and signs
This is your home
Should you feel safe at home
The police ain't checking for you at home
The police are looking for you at home
Looking for you
For you
For you
Because you are too much you
Because there is too much hate
Because there is too  much fear
Over you
You
For you

Burn Hollywood
Burn Hollywood
Burn till Oscar's ashes rise
Till Emmit's body forms
Burn Hollywood
Burn Hollywood
Till Freddie screams again
Burn Hollywood
Burn Hollywood

See Renisha's face at your door

Are you afraid of a black woman
At chicken o'clock in the night
Can a sista use your phone

Burn Hollywood
Burn Hollywood

We are the most forgiving people
We forgive to the grave
We excuse to the grave
We fast and sing to the grave

Rise again Nat
Speak out Brother Marcus

Water up
Pray up
Turn up the music and
Weapon up
Fight up
Fight on
Learn up
Remember on

Burn Hollywood
Burn Hollywood
Burn
