Death rattled last breath of dying nigger shot by cop best friend
falls next to him eyes search tall thin Black no longer suspect
Bloody spittle we made it huh nigga
They had raced barefoot on city streets late summer night races
Olympic dreams o say can

Killah Shark was a member of Hittite Empire Black Men Performance Art group and, among many other projects, is a monthly contributor to Headline Poetry & Press.  Killah communicates through Terse Verse. Terse Verse is a very short form of poetry which starts with an impressive sounding question or statement and is solved by a short rhyme. He engages the form in a specific way; weaving personal mythologies with history to challenge the internal, to organically inspire social justice from within.
