After I Die

After I die,

Burning buildings will

Crash and crumble.

Daughters and sons

Entering elementary

For freedom, fun, and

Games, won’t

Have the luxury of an

Ignorant adolescence.

Jail cells will rumble.

Killing me will

Leave anger even

Murderers won’t understand,

News stations will cause riots once

Officers show their body cams.

Police will make strangers

Question if I was

Right, and my mother will lead a

Strike till the last days of her life.

Teenagers will tell tales of the teacher they

Used to have.

Voices will go viral

Warning we’ll be free at last…

X will mark the spot and the

Year the world learned my name.

Zillions will know about me, but how much will really change…
