New Poem 7/1/13

I cry out for justice

Yelling until my voice cracks

Pounding my chest until my knuckles bleed

The blood

It streams down my body

Mixing in with my tears

Creating a pool underneath me

I cry out for justice

While they try and silence me

Try and frighten me

Try and discourage me

Try and keep me from my destiny

I cry out for justice

Hoping to ignite

Someone

everyone

Where is your fight?

Where is your passion?

Where. is. justice?

I'm searching for you

You've left the courtrooms

The Supreme Court needed you

I can't find you in the legislative sessions

10 hours I spent standing with Wendy

and I didn't see your face

Have you not upgraded your technology?

Cuz social media is running rampant

with hashtag lynchings

and Instagram strange fruits

I cry out for justice

Don't you hear me?

Don't you hear us?

Do you need more from us?

More protests? I'll get the picket signs

More calling lawmakers? I'll upgrade to 4G

Moe marches? My shoes will go to Selma , Alabama again or create a new route to Sanford, Florida

Just tell me what needs to happen for you to come back

I'm crying out for justice

Every day

Every night

Until there are no more tears left

Until there are no sounds that can come out of my mouth

and even then I won't be silent

No silence, never silence

I just need justice
