Justice for All

everybody is protesting

in the street

they want justice for George Floyd

when he was killed by a police officer's knee

justice seems to want to come,

only for a few, but not for some.

I heard the sounds of those victims who cried

but, there will be no peace for the unjust who have died

when racial tensions come alive

we will all begin to arise

the law has neglected him

but it will be God that shall protect them

we want justice for Breonna Taylor, but

it seems to take too long

but the protesting will not stop for her

and we'll continue to keep marching on

justice seems to want to come, but

it comes fast for a few and

not at all for some,

we want justice for

Rayshard Brooks

because he didn't deserve to die

and we will keep fighting and protesting

in his name

until they hear our cry
