Day 16: Capital Crimes

Missing the bus
And asking for help
When your are lost
Are capital crimes
For young black
Boys

Playing with a toy
Gun in a park is
A capital crime
For young black 
Boys

Walking in your 
Neighborhood at 
Night is a capital
Crime for young black
Boys

Flirting with a 
White woman is
A capital crime
For young black
Boys

Brennan Walker (2004- ), fourteen
Tamir Rice (2002-2014), twelve
Trayvon Martin (1995-2012), seventeen
Emmett Till (1941-1955), fourteen
