Walk for Me
Put your hands up and walk slowly toward the gun You can’t join our march but we can walk in the same direction. The four girls were walking upstairs from bible study in that ‘bama basement. Walk for me. Emmett Till was walking home to the wall of the MET. Walk for me. Bill Gunn was walking backwards in a murder scene with the tenant farmers which is black suicide— Walk for me. Justice smells barbeque and Tupac walks to the reunion with her. Walk for me. Medgar Evers was walking out onto his front porch to pick up the newspaper with his empty coffin on the cover. Walk for me. If you take it that slow it gets blurry like a hot black day in a body in the street. George Jackson was cooking Al Green some grits. Walk for me. If you go too fast they’ll assume you’re running from something and unload the gun while you’re on your knees. Walk for me If you’re running from something walk for me. If you’re loaded on something walk for me. If you’re holding the gun but didn’t buy the bullet walk for me. Nina was walking up to Weldon in a trip of help him I think he’s dying. Walkforme. Brother was walking off a bridge through the melt of a scream. Walk off me. There’s so many screams in this epic. Walk slowly toward he with your hands up. When you get to the open car door duck in with your hands up. We look so good ducking. Walk for me. When the officer shoots you in the good mannered hand and then in the gut walk for me. You’ve seen the walk : the wilting strut of a crossed over body walk for me. Get a real good look at Jesus so you can identify him a lineup walk for me. Look at god. Walk for me. Lock up God. Walk for me. Be me God. Walk for me. Long as you’re walking for me run for me
