There
A free verse poem for the victims of a celebrity.
There-
Wasn’t there for Sandra, but we believed
Wasn’t there for Breonna, but believe she was innocent
Without even seeing any evidence,
But for the latest victim of your favorite celebrity,
We need camera footage
We need the cops to catch up
We need a trial
If the results take a while
You think the man was innocent
What does it take for her to be a victim?
Some have brought up videos
Said it on record
Have kits done, but your favorite could never
It’s so hard for a victim to say they were victimized
Because of how many records you liked
Defend the abuser, then blame the victims
Seems to be the answer for someone speaking out
If she were a victim of someone you like, then she must want clout,
She must be looking for a cashout
But were you there?
Was I there?
Who knows the answer ?
None of us, only the two
But you think he’s innocent because he made money off records, yeah that makes sense?
Because when you’re rich, you’re incapable of violating someone’s rights, right?
Just asking because I wasn’t there
Let’s Reflect
How did this poem make you feel?
Any thoughts on the poem?
