A run on for Sabrina Fulton and
Other mothers when a t-shirt is not enough

Sabrina Fulton cannot carry her grief to the white
Woman at the phone company and explain that a man
Killed her son and got away with it.
Because who cares about Black boys anyway? And even
Though the story is no longer on the news, his picture is
Still on the coffee table next to the Bible and the Vogue
Mags and bills
And is it possible to get an extension on the mortgage
And car payments because sleeping on the couch for a
Month straight and going nowhere fast shouldn't cost as
Much anyway right
But who understands this except someone who has
Tasted thorns for breakfast because the doctor said eat
Something and take something and try to get some sleep
But who can sleep and think straight when every time
Eyes close, floating Arizona tea cans grow monster ears

And who can go outside and see teenagers wearing
Shirts that say they remember and they will never forget
Who can form sentences and why are mothers
Supposed to be this strong and pray this hard about
Black boys and girls who are supposed to come home
Every night and not be shot down and killed
Our Black boys. Our Black girls. And where are our
Girls' faces on shirts? And why are shirts so necessary
And dead babies are not fashion
Our children are supposed to live and not die. And this
Was not God's plan. Not all this. What God would plan
This? What God would need an angel so badly it would
Have to take ours? How could anyone need a writing
Prompt when there are babies' lives to save and streets
To walk down, teachers to meet with and drug dealers
To cuss out and hair to braid and womens' bodies
Found dead in Atlanta
And are white boys and girls needed in heaven too
