would you mourn me?
if a group of men in vests threw me to the ground and put bullets in my body?
or,
would you say that i should have been more careful?
that i knew better than to condemn those same men as they chained a brown man with a tongue from a different land?
would you say i asked for my death?
because i hit “record” and narrated the scene?
instead of putting my head down and walking away?
like you would have done.
