Say Their Names 🙏

Rain begins to pour on the chaos below.
One thing is for certain; you are not born with the hate which engulfs you, preventing you to grow.

Like the trees which are long since rooted, you too cannot move
If you do not seek the answers within,
Humanity? Your sanity? 
This you will surely lose.

It pulls you under the crashing waves, thrashing and dancing
Oh, but why can't you change?
Open your mind. Break down its dams.
Let the flood gates open.
Reach out your hand.

Just like King, I have a dream
And the flowers bloom, the church bells boom.
Why is there so much unrest?
What does it matter if their skin colour
Is different from the rest?

Amongst the beaten, worn down cliffs,
The lifeless lives live on in the chant, "Say their names."
Fight for what is right.
Your heart knows, deep within, do not conform. Do not give in.

The purple sky and the defiant eyes and the ticking of the clock: it strikes at noon.
Why must He leave his white palace of lies. 
Why must HE be spared the doom and gloom?

A flash of lightning.
Even Lucifer shakes his head from his cage; this man is beyond hope.
His heart is blackened. Ignited with rage.
It's up to the people now to make the change.

"I can't breathe," they chant.
A fierce golden light flows within their veins; one thing is clear as the butterflies soar.
Things will never be the same; they demand justice and more.
