Voiceless in America  


How can I speak when I’m seven feet deep in the ground.

At the hands of a justice system that what was implemented to protect

The rights I was given on paper but denied on the streets I called home.

Voiceless in America

Because I can’t help but tremble when I see the flashing red and blue lights.

And can only pray that today is not the day you call me home Jesus.

Because your justice is bullets catching a black body till it is limp, cold, lifeless.

But why stop when my blood is the best shade of red for your flag.

Voiceless in America

Because the black case may have a different face but tells the same story.

When the verdict is not guilty, and you can sleep like a baby.

But a family is left without a mother, brother, cousin, son, daughter, Father.

Voiceless in America

Because my rage and passion offends you.

Because you can’t seem to wrap your head around the concept of race.

When a mother mourns her child as her tears wash it blood off the concrete.

Voiceless in America because the black case is a vicious cycle that never seems to close.
