Taken, a life shortened by violence.
Yanked from the car like a feral intruder,
Repeatedly stricken by heartless policemen,
Eager to beat him without a just cause.
Never to see his loved ones again,
Insisting he didn’t present a threat,
Calling his mother in pain and anguish.
How can the law keeper be so lawless?
Openly killing an unarmed man.
Let us keep praying for justice and peace,
Stopping this violence that plagues our land.
