Notice
(with thanks to my Brother, Riley)
They’ve murdered Darren Seals.
And I can’t any more
I don’t have any more
I can’t do another march
I can’t rally to protest
I can’t
I’m tired
Dead tired inside
All I can do
Is write
They’ve Murdered Darren Seals
Martyred that young man
Like James Chaney
Or Jesus
Christ
If there is a God, he is not just
He is not fair.
If there was a God,
He’s not around any more
Having long abandoned this experiment
With Hell in Earth
He does not care to fix
This mess
He Made
I can’t anymore
Believe
They killed Darren Seals
And I just can’t
I can’t hear the whitexcuses
the whitesplanations
the white-validations
They will decree his death
A suicide
Talk about his depression
His lifetime on Prozac
Or Ritalin
His Life Time
29 Years
They martyred that child
As surely as Martin before him.
I drove home in a coma
Dead inside
An automaton
Single minded
Emotionless
But for the unending flicker
of Sadness
Promising the heat of Rage
The roads opened before me
Motorists gave me wide berth
The fucking dog
Started barking like a maniac
As I opened the door.
Where the fuck was his bark
When they stole my bike off of the deck?
I growled back at him
“What you gonna do!”
Baring my teeth, I scowled into his black eyes.
He backed beneath the dining room table,
tail between his legs.
His bark diminished to a soft rumble.
Zero Tolerance
I am at Zero Tolerance
For stupidity
Little patience for ignorance
Faggots, be wary:
I am not a character
On a clichéd-gay sitcom
And you are not as witty
As you believe you are.
Zero Tolerance
I am so Blessed
I work hard and play well
I am challenged and rewarded
I’ve achieved goals and have dreams yet to manifest
I’ve struggled to get this far
But I’m here.
Survivor guilt is a bitch
A burden Darren Seals will never have to bare.
The weight
Of his loss
Tugs on my heart
Nearly crippled me
I buckled a bit
As the world shifted
To compensate
I Can Not
I Will Not
Zero Tolerance
for Inanity
Passive Animosity
Dishonesty
Say What You Mean
Mean What You Say
Know What You Intend to Convey
And be open to correction
of error in thought
error in notion
Darren Seals had to be killed
For me to reach this degree of intolerance
And I feel like shit with guilt
I have let the Idiocracy get to me.
They martyred that man
And now seek to keep his name from being said.
Nary a word in the press.
So,
I say his name
Write it down
Look it up
Study it
Like Gospel
They’ve murdered Darren Seals
29 year old founding activist of the Ferguson Protests of the Murder of Mike Brown
They murdered Darren Seals
Catalyst of the #Black Lives Matter Movement
