Can we make this REAL?  

Poems that kill

Can we make this Real?

(Poems that Kill)

Real for Trayvon and the rest.

(Poems that shoot guns)

Make it Real,

(Poems that wrestle cops into alleys)

Make it run ahead of the kill

(and take their weapons)

Can we make this REAL?

Real Poems that really kill.

(leaving them dead with tongues pulled out and sent to . . .)

Can we make this REAL?

Poems that KILL fear for REAL!

Poems that HEAL.

Can we PLEASE make this real?

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot

guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys

and take their weapons leaving them dead
