No One Knows

NO ONE KNOWS

No one knows

How this goes

But the first four rows

Are singing along

The streets are wide

Cops lining either side

And soon we will all decide

Who’s side we’re on

Cry little darling

Cuz where you’ve been

Is face to face with

Original sin

White cult-drunk racists

Armed to the teeth

Life grows short

While the days grow long

When you’re bending the arc

In the summer sun

As sloe eyed girls

Turn in sacred circles

And the flag unfurls

In search of a song

Take my hand

Cuz where we’ve been

Is face to face with

Original sin

White is the color

That never comes clean

Rayshard Brooks shot twice in the back

Daniel Prude asphyxiated

George Floyd, a knee on the neck

Breonna Taylor shot

Atatiana Jefferson shot

Aura Rosser shot

Stephon Clark shot more than 20 times

Philando Castille shot

Alton Sterling shot 6 times

Michelle Cusseaux shot

Freddie Gray shattered spine

Eric Garner choked to death

Tamir Rice shot,12 years old,

Michael Brown shot

Cry little darling

Cuz what you see

Is the power of

An awakening

Sunrise this morning

How far can you see?
