Poetry by StreetWise Vendor Lady David

StreetWise vendor Lady David shares a poem inspired by the senseless loss of George Floyd in Minneapolis due to police brutality.

Who Do We Call

When There Is A Rape

When A Body Yells Please Don't Take

Who Do We Call

If You Go For A Little Trip

And Your House Is Stripped

Who Do We Call

All Badges Ain't Bad

That Is True

Matter Of Fact A lot Of Coppers

Are Friends Even Families Members Of You

A lot Of The Reasons

Plenty Cops Not On Earth Anymore

They Lost Their Lives In The Line Of Duty

Fighting A Righteous Way

But We Can't Forget

The Victims Of Cop Violence

He Said: He Couldn't Breathe

Knee On Neck Until Death Silence

The Eric Gardners, Rodney Kings, Way Too Many To Name

And I Have Stated Go Up A Few Lines, All Badges Are Not The Same

So Who Do We Call

When You Remember Your Kid's Kissin'

72 hours Your Child Is Missin'

Who Do We Call
