Another year has come and gone
And injustice continues to rise and roam
Liberty and jurisprudence equity remains
To be extended to the hued like you and me
And during the year, we’ve had few if any gains.
Yet, despite it all, we’ve got a need to
Congregate;
But we gather to commemorate rather than to
Just celebrate.
We need to draw attention to the remaining we
Need to undo;
Much remains to gain true justice for hued ones
Like me & you.
The fight for justice we must continue to strive
And undertake.
Today we gather to commemorate the murderous
Deaths of the likes of those before and after brother, Floyd;
To reveal how growing injustice remains so notorious
And to underscore the inflating American equity ongoing void—
The constitution still used to aid systemic racist fraud.
And as we gather, let us be ever mindful of the need
To stop;
Self-annihilation of our own as if we were the syndrome
Hued cops.
This thing of the oppressed doing the oppressor’s work
Has to end;
Taking the lives of our own loved ones is such a great
Living sin!
We can’t allow black-on-black crime to ever infect us
Once again!
