Write a peom about what you see happening in the world. Peom
must touch on police brutality,
equal rights, protests and things
you want changed.

Why do you focus on the past when a black man is shot?

Yet, think about the future for a guilty, white criminal.

Why do you claim you're not racist?

Yet, say all lives matter without hesitation.

Why do you buy the newest iphones and better cars?

Yet, you want cops to work under a 100 year old oppressed, system.

Why do you complain about the protests?

Yet, you idle along when another dies to the hands of a cop.

We must call for change.

So we can create a life where the color of our skin does not determine the good in our hearts.

Stop and listen. Say their names. Share their story.

Explanation:

"you" is referred to anyone that is apart of the problem. I'm not sure what kind of poem your teacher wanted but the grammatically incorrect "yet" is intentional
