#RIP DJ HENRY Poet's Corner: When did THEY declare WAR on the BLACK MAN? by ZITI


Who's the thug..let me ask again..who is the THUG?
The night they had shots in the dark
Did they have to kill DJ Henry?!
When did the THEY declare war on the BLACK MAN?

First you assasinate him, releasing his blood on the sidewalk,
then you release his Blood Alcohol  Level, assasinating his character?!
When did the THEY declare war against the BLACK MAN?
I ask again did a black boy have to die that night?
The cries for help went on deaf ears..no one let DJ live.

When did the THEY declare war on the BLACK MAN?
Tasers shot guardian angels trying to help,
THEY put guns to their heads..
THEY threatened his guardian angels..his friends..his teammates..
THEY treated their own..while the blood on the sidewalk
CRIED AND CRIED..MURDER!!!

THEY are to protect and serve who? FROM what?
THEY are now cowering in fear..
DJ Henry lives on in our dreams..
Somewhere he is living out his dreams.

WHY can't we hear DJ Henry catches the Touchdown pass?
WHY can't we hear Professor Henry writes his second book?
WHY can't we hear President Danroy Henry vetoes the bill from Congress?
WHY can't we see Danroy Henry walk down the aisle?

WHY..WHY..WHY...WHY?!?!?!
THEY stole that from his parents..
THEY stole that dream from DJ..
THEY will try to steal again.

I ask again...When did THEY declare WAR against the BLACK MAN?
Who was the thug that night?
They wore BLUE..they carried DEVIL'S badges..
Who was the thug that shot Danroy "DJ" Henry?

In WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK, THEY were the thugs.
THEY killed a college student, THEY killed a future, THEY stole a life.
WHY? THAT question runs through my head all the time..
When did THEY declare WAR on the BLACK MAN?
