L I V E S M A T T E R
to Emmett Till
Laquan McDonald (black)
what a fine and dignified name
isn’t even 18 years old
and dead
murdered by
Jason Van Dyke (white)
a policeman
on a busy Chicago street
in plain view
execution-style
millions have died
a natural death
since Laquan McDonald
was born
but he isn’t
one of them
