Running For Your Life (Monday Poem)

Community Poem collected by Kwame Alexander

What is the color of air?
Who owns the right to breathe?
Why are we so afraid of each other?
When will they come for the brown men I know and love?
What was his crime?
Is there justice for all
In the land of the free?
Or only those who are
White like me?
