Celebrate Justice

 

Before the presumed bells of justice were able to ring

“Oh, Lord, not my child” another mother would sing

The spirit of racism took to the sky

Yet another melanized baby would die

 

Don’t you dare, justice celebrate

Systematic genocide is yet your fate

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty, the jury proclaimed

Not before another privileged, took his aim

 

Celebrate justice, don’t you dare

Political gun powder fills the air

Documented case they are aware

Whatever the verdict, they don’t care

 

Shooting us down at their will

Asking the question, how many can we kill

Protected by the uniform and the silver shield

The reality of Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal”
