SAY HER NAME


So many names
One is too many
In the same place
They met the same fate 
An injustice they didn’t deserve

Too many names 
Yet some don’t understand 
Why we speak to this day
Of lives taken away
At the hands of those chosen to serve

How many names
Will never be spoken?
These are just the ones we know
We vow to remember in hopes
One day the grief will end

Will there be more names
Cried out in anguish
Before the mourning ceases
As racism increases
A rift that hate cannot mend?
