They
The cops turned the lock
No knock
At the crack of dawn
Within ten seconds
At least three pops.
Another innocent Black man
Gun permit carryin’
Amir Locke
Is shot
Dead!
In the words of Gil Scott-Heron
“ No knocked on my brother Fred Hampton
Bullet holes all over the place
No knocked on my brother Michael Harris
And jammed a shotgun against his skull.”
No knocked in Minneapolis
On our innocent Brother Amir Locke
Laying blanket covered on a couch
Sleeping.
Now lying dead in morgue
And family is outraged
And
Weeping.
Still no justice
Still no peace.
