No justice no peace, Twyana 400 years of discriminationAnd yet I’ve seen no changeHow can I live in a ‘real’ world?If our lives are like fiction books; plot twists on every page I feel like this because of the actionsThe actions of many and the fewThe one’s who fight to save all from injustice And those who are trying to subdue Research this title, and hear the cause ‘Minneapolis peaceful protest’You’ll see first‐hand, why we raise our fists In the air, and humanity at its best Anne Frank was a victim of prejudice Persecuted because of her beliefsThey took the many things she held dear Like a powerful, undefeated thief This is one reason we stand for our friends Our family, yourself tooYou may not even know a victim of this crime Yet their lives should matter to you. Imagine living in a world where your skin Is like a walking targetExcept, don’t imagine, it already happened To the countless names you’ve heard Justice for George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery too, Breonna Taylor, Shukri Abdi and hundreds more Hear their names, say their names, we will not stop Until their justice for all We shall keep going until every guilty person is charged And those innocent free and releasedThe power of the people is strong togetherNo justice, no peace.
