All he did was protect his child,

but,

he was black,

so, he was shot.

Now the child will ask,

"Did Daddy do something wrong?"

If you know me, you know I like to experiment with poetry. So I wrote a short poem and gave it a long title.

I did try to make this long but I felt this was enough. I said all I wanted to say.

You must know that this is not just about being black though. 

It's also about being different and people misunderstanding that difference as a bad thing which can lead to the unnecessary death of an innocent person.
