No justice no peace,
not in the streets in the soul -
murder is murder.

Robbed of life cruelly,
humans shot down like dogs -
race has no place here.

Whether the victims,
be black, white, or otherwise -
life is life...simple

Justice is needed,
more for the healing than peace -
this shadow must go.

This community,
can be whole after the past -
after this is done.
