Survival Poem-Lorenzo

“Case # 1747414”   by Lorenzo

They label me,

 a delinquent.

Just another number in this system

of theirs

They tell me I’m a “criminal”

For something I did

A while back

And I hate it, being discriminated

Now listen I’m not saying all cops are corrupt,

But the ones that are, are quick to

 Embarrass

Neglect

And harass you.

And they do it in front of my people.

My Fam

My son

My girl.

Yet they still don’t understand

The guilt you feel,

 Them labeling you a “criminal”

In the eyes of this world

And to top it off

 They gave me something

 To remember me by

“Case # 1747414”
