Revised Poem: RETRAIN THE POLICE 2023


 leave the robot dogs 

 in the equipment yard

 strip off the military gear 

 if you’re not SWAT

 melt the tanks 

 into scrap metal 

 for infrastructure 

 treat Black and Brown people 

 just like White people 

 learn to take a deep breath

 before drawing taser or pistol

 and stop treating the poisonous apples 

 so quick to judge and execute

 as if they should get

 a Medal of Valor 

 for wearing a uniform 

 they don’t deserve
