“No justice, No peace!”


It echoes


It rings


“No Justice, No Peace!”


Pale pursed lips grin


As the batons start to swing


“No JUSTICE, No PEACE!”


Men decked in armor draw forth


The children start to scream


“NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!”


The white men pull daggers,


And in the sun their guns gleam


While Black Bodies hit the concrete


“NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!”


The news trucks turn from their corpses


To put the looters onscreen


“NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!”


Mothers grip the bodies of their kids


As their gory wounds seep
