Black Lives Matter Plaza,
lllusive of change.
Now run over.
A memory of yesterday.
“You got what you wanted,
now shut up”,
Is what they really meant to say,
But honied and “wellspoken” is how they will stay.
Bulldozers and yellow tape;
Gone is the street.
We couldn’t do anything! they cry,
But at least we tried!
Red handed self bondage,
Handcuffed fingers crossed behind their backs,
Incremental is the change, they proclaim.
So why do we keep going back?
