This is: “Let the white boy do it.”

said the man who is not young to those who are
            surrounding the Ferguson PD cruiser
            beating it with rocks
                        dressing it for the funeral pyre

and while I’m fine being the honkey-ass-cracker
            lined up to take the bullet

and while I got pork with the pigs born
            from my own scars and broken bones

and while I just lit that mother fucker
            up like a rag doll

still I wonder: what fire I stole
            out the eyes of those kids
                        by grabbing the molly from their hands
                                    and letting it fly from mine.
