“Wait”

When one act of justice is possibly on its way

Another black man will never see the light of day

We pray and wait for a glimpse of justice

Waiting for those in power to care about this

2 years too long ; Murder cops will be put on trial

But its 4 years later for another brutality victim;

except those cops have no more charges for manslaughter

A Small act of good arises

In the continuing fight to stop racial biases

To think the system might for once do it right.

Wrong.

So easy to give up hope, you’re shot down as you prevail

Your Fight- my fight, I’m beside you as we embark to serve justice and what that entails

But Whites speak for the oppressed when it’s convenient

And then forget all about it because white skin doesnt cost the life of an innocent

And is the innocent not my Neighbors and friends

No one can justify for someone to think, am I going to be next?

To wait and wait to see some justice served

How long until black voices will be truly heard ?

The fights not over.
