How much more can we take?

How many children will end up as hashtags?

How many will get shot?

How many will die?

How many before there is justice?

 

How many will be dehumanized?

How many will hold guns

made from bread and cheese?

How many will plead 'don't shoot'?

 

How many more black children will

die before something changes?

How many will lose their life

by the hand of their 'protectors'?

 

How many times can a poeple

be oppressed and terroized

before they come together and sing:

'Let others rise up to take our place

until the Earth is free!'?
