Verdict

Guilty

Guilty

 Guilty 

They rejoice 

As they had not seen justice in so long

They rejoice

As the world seems bright after all the wrong

They rejoice 

As we cast light upon oppression

They rejoice

Though many still wallow in the depression

Mourning the loss of lives and innocence 

Nights wasted in fear and dwindling patience

Of when freedom will truly ring its bell

And to emulate liberation in its resemblance

“My daddy changed the world”

But the cops still stole that father from his little girl

Chauvin got locked up

And now the world stopped giving a fuck as the media only cares about exploiting us for their headlines of how much we have been battered

Because why else would controversy surround the phrase, “Black Lives Matter”

I want to rejoice 

But the victory only translated into one solemn fight

As they all ended up forgetting about us by midnight
