Poem: Shutdowns

Shutdowns:

Shutdowns shutdown dignity.
Shutdowns shutdown freedom of assembly.

Shutdowns shut down all sizes of economy.

Shut down, Shutdowns!-
Heard daily, nationally.

When I say, Support Black business, it's not encouraging economic discrimination. Quite the contrary, it's promoting ideological decolonization.

As a boy I had several Black owned convenience stores, a dry cleaner, barber shop, beauty salon, electronic repair shop, insurance company, gas station and more  within walking distance. I caught the tail end of a (soon shuttered) separate Jim Crow economy my parents and grandpare
