Her words wrote the justice that we deserved
Basking in the sunlight
In a field of flowers
A peaceful look in her
She looks up to the sky
And realises how much she loves life
This is all she wanted
In a world that eradicates through hatred
In this moment She felt grounded
Listening to the sounds of nature
She lost a lot of her family
To police brutality
As the sun shone down on her
She could feel their love kiss her
She often felt herself being guilty
For choosing to keep on living
But this little treasured moment
Filled her soul
With love, hope and purpose
She took out her journal
Her words, her motivation
To get justice for her people
She wouldn't waste time wallowing
When the world needed fixing
She looked up to the sky
One last time
A smile on her face
A fire in her eyes
And a glow from the sun rays
Entrusting her with an energy
That can't be tamed
The world would know their names
Her passion overrides their hate
She would make sure the world would pay
For their crimes committed throughout history
She would put them in the spotlight
Strip them of their dignity
Rid them of their ego
And when there is nothing left to take
She would give the people a show
Make an example out of the oppressors
To make sure the public would know
What happens When you mess with black people
