Fight!

This is one of the most hard-hitting and brutally honest pieces of spoken word I've heard in a while. This poem is what it's all about - this is why we have the spoken word and slam poetry as a forum; we use our mind and our voice as a megaphone and we let people feel​ the message being shared. So I urge you, if you hear this and you feel this, tweet it out, share it out, or reach out to Young Deuces  and let him know! 
​
From Young Deuces: 
My inspiration came from my personal frustration with the police shooting and the constant injustices against black lives in the US.  In Milwaukee, WI  a black male by the name of Jay Anderson, was also shot & killed by the police while sleeping in his own car at night.   This just as many others, was unlawful, unnecessary & down right wrong.  The officer involved was not convicted, the video/audio was not released for the public, and the official statement is "The officer feared for his life." In light of that and everything else that is going on i took to my pen to express my frustration,thoughts & concerns in a video entitled "FIGHT!" #Justice4Jay
