My Flesh #3

My skin
screams for justice
just as his voice
cried

It's truth
he died
in a fight
unfair

Makes no difference
a tree
a gun
a river
or the
sidewalk

His blood
left his body
and hit the
ground

My skin
screams for justice
just as his voice
cried

How the memory
of my ancestors
looks
at this America
in disdain
relived pain

Our sons
are gone
from this walk
we are propelled
to gather together
just as
we gathered together
for the cause
of humanity and justice

My skin
screams for justice
just as his voice
cried
