Now What?
By- Jacob Greene
Another day in Baltimore
Cars honking
People talking
Dogs barking
Buses stopping and going
Just another day
Walking home from school
Per usual, alone
I stopped
The corner store
Where my dad worked
I bought doritos and gatorade
And stepped outside
Police cars honking
Police Dogs barking
Police yelling
Sirens loud as M&T bank stadium
Why, what’s happening
What's going on
I see a black man
Police around him
Beating him
Viciously
Police yelling at him
Stop resisting!
He's not!
A man says
Dad?
It was my father
And being beaten
My uncle
I pull out my phone
I record
Police say stop
I am now the victim
They push me down
Take my phone
My dad try's to help
There gone in a flash
My uncle on the ground hurt
Police driving away
My phone they have it!
Now what?
