Communities of color
Fight over names badges
Proving there part of the whole
While some woman
Part of the system of color
Sits in a prison cell with no
Windows: nor pretty printed paintings
On non-textured walls
While some women
Is raped in the “whole”
Where she’s supposed to
Find inner balance she finds
Dysfunctional control
Where she is the functional one
Hoping for some other norm
Paying back her debt to society
Whilst killing any chance of
Becoming something this
Bureaucratic society will ever over stand.
Stripped by this society to sit in concrete
Jungles
Communities of color
Fight over names badges
Proving there part of the whole
While some prison guard
Is commemorated for getting
“Off” on a piece of
Unforgotten society
Pinned as the man of the
[Cell] block by the wardens all seeing “EYE”
-JUSTICIA AHORA-
Screams from the silent voices
Of soulless mothers ripped from
Daughters handcuffed with restriction
Over crowded dollar bills $$$
Seen by “paid” judges
Maximum penalties for
Minimum security

Fight over names badges
Proving there part of the whole
While homeless
Depressed
Bitter
Children
Visits their parents through
Bullet proof windows
Stainless steel seats
Warm their bottoms instead
Of mothers breast milk
Or grannies lesson
Of snakes weaving through grass
Instead steel walls are
Stealing memories
Dead bodies are losing hearts
And sinking thoughts
Mother and fathers become images
Of prison guards and police officer
That seems to offer up no known piece of peace
Communities of color

Slop is the punishment
For stolen memories of
Bedroom walls where
Cornbread and milk was laid
