about

Words fail us when trying to express our grief and outrage at racial profiling and police brutality in this country, but hopefully this song begins to give voice to that pain.

lyrics

they baptize the asphalt with
blood,
and wash away their sins with
sprinklers
on the golf course.
holy trinity
bang
bang
bang
another pavement christened
sanctimonious black & red.
“justified by faith,”
they say to the jury,
fresh off the
putting green,
and find forgiveness.
“rules are different
for the clergy,”
they tell the mothers.
best start wiping away the
black & red.
