may my crime be compassion."

IF THEY CALL ME A DOMESTIC TERRORIST
If they gun me down in my own street someday may my crime be compassion.
May the record show from every angle
that I was helping a woman up after they pushed her to the ground, that not even their weapons could stop me from extending my hand to those in need, that I was a walking example of the best my elders taught me — that everyone is equal and worthy of defending.
If they tell the nation, from the highest podium, that I was a domestic terrorist, let it be known that my radical act was believing the best in people when they wanted nothing more than to divide us.
