"Moments Of A Hate Crime" (Poetry) By: Author Tanisha D. Davis

 "Moments Of A Hate Crime"

"I'm pretty sure this won't be the first time
That people fall victim to a hate crime

See we are sadly so wrapped up in finding a solution to eliminating the world of the things we consider to be pollution,

Who gives me or you the right...
to decide who gets to come home at night?

One lady had a son hiding in a bathroom stall
He was sending messages for help
While his mom kept waiting for that "I'm fine" phone call,

One father had a daughter he hadn't spoke to in a while
but he got that long awaited call and it wasn't from his child

One sister, one brother, one cousin, one mother
all awaited to see the face of their loved one to unite
but received bad news because someone felt it was time to end their night

Tweets posting frantically across media pages 
People voicing their opinions in outrages

Christians calling it an act of God...But if its God's wishes then are we to say the same about the 4 Black Girls bombed in a church house? Are we to say the same about the Charleston shooting of the nine? Was that too a God allowed crime?

Sadly these are the last moments and last days
where we have people who feel the need to decide who gets to die and who stays

I can only imagine that son in the stall
telling his mom, "I'm gonna die"
I can only picture that tear forming in his eye
As he saw the face of such an angry guy
Pull a trigger and he didn't even understand why

I'm pretty sure this won't be the first time
That people fall victim to a hate crime

See we are sadly so wrapped up in finding a solution to eliminating the world of the things we consider to be pollution.

No matter your race
No matter your color
There will always be someone searching for a reason to do everything but love one another."





My condolences to the family & victims of the Orlando Shooting.
