Publisher's Synopsis
SUMMARY "Shut It Down Burn It Down Now," is raw poetry on how the Police all over the United States do frame-jobs, beat, and murder innocent people, particularly black men, almost every day in this country. Usually the Police get away with the crimes, many times not even being charged with murder or violating someone's Constitutional Rights. Even when caught on camera in crimes, the Police play the game of the camera is lying, don't believe your eyes. These are hard life rhymes with humor and beauty, and things we see, but cannot see. Have a biscuit and enjoy sweet jam and butter while understanding how Prince and Ali got the prize. 9 Beautiful Souls will make your heart cry out loud. Love is beautiful in this thing called life. Are white universities such as Duke University engulfed in racism as a Hangman's Noose suggest? You decide. "Shut It Down Burn It Down Now," is poetry that will make you laugh, cry, and angry, sometimes at the same time. This is life poetry.
