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
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?
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?
