We Mourn Their Lives

We mourn
Not for the first time
Nor for the last I fear
Life taken in the twinkle
A blink of the eye

A man-person of color
They say he was
Something that he refused
Did not claim
Would not accept

Through trials and tribulations
Many years passing
They claimed he did
He refused them again and
Finally the crowd spoke Up

But finally was too late
To change the minds of
They who would have their
Bloodlust satisfied on the
Alter of unforgiveness

We mourn another
Another life
Another lynching
One more black body
Sacrificed at the alter

Not for the first time
Nor for the last
One more sacrifice
To a God who would demand
Blood on their hands

a dedication to the memory of Marcellus Williams and all those innocents put to death at the hands of an un-justice system.

The Gravity of a New Dawn

The joy in my soul while watching
The Vice President of the United States walk
and wave
Greet the massive crowd at the Democratic
National Convention
The chants of U... S... A...U... S... A...
Rush of adrenaline coursing through the veins in
a body that has been ravaged and torn
Beat down and maligned
Feels like a new dawn. A new day
On the horizon I see prosperity and peace
Taking US forward into a paradigm shift
A path that has taken twists and turns that couldn't
have been predicted by the pundits
Sometimes the world brings US into a special moment
A once-in-a-lifetime, ground-shaking swell
Almost too good to be true
Too good to be real
History ready to be made
"Like family by love" makes US better
Day by day
Charting a new course
A new way

Sonya Massey Killing Sickens Me!!!

Let me get this straight, Sonya Massey called the police for help. She was then harassed for her identification. The police told her to turn off her stove, and then they demanded she step away from the stove that they just told her to approach. A police officer who has had 6 different law enforcement jobs in 4 years then shot her in the face seconds after saying he was going to shoot her in the face. He did not have his bodycam turned on, and we would not know what really happened if his partner didn't have on his bodycam the whole time. ENOUGH!!!

WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED! WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED! WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED!

STOP THE DICTATOR!!
