Mr. President
September 12, 2015
Burn me alive,
For what I believe
Hang me,
Because I spoke the ignored truth
Electrocute me,
For how I lived
Inject me,
Because I wasn’t truly free
Look me in the eye when you shoot me down,
I’m looking in yours, I will not bow

I decided to actually put down all the ways we have killed people in the past and decided to go from there. I was mad, because there is a homeless guy, who comes into my work for water, and he told me people had beat up another homeless guy and took his shoes in hopes of making him get off the street. I was so crushed that these people would beat someone up let alone take away their home. Because, for some homeless people, their clothes are their home.
