A Poem for Justice

While Justice Sleeps...

I explore my city and ride on a train while I overcome this pain

I connect with my Ancestors in spirit

I honor their struggle while I fight for their justice.

While Justice Sleeps...

I fight the laws put in place to harm our race

I read books to expand my mind and break free from the trance

I find the clues left behind over time that leads me back to my kind.

While Justice Sleeps...

I learn the rules of the game I didn't know we were playing

I eat the food and use the recipes my ancestors left for me

I gather with my family and friends in hopes to build our community.

While Justice Sleeps...

I put pieces of the puzzle together to find our true history

I pray that future generations learn the truth that my generation is searching to find.

I research ways to bring Justice back to black lives.

Thank you Stacey Abrams for writing this book. It is a simple reminder that good people still exist in government and change can be made with honesty, determination, and hard work. I appreciate you and I look forward to reading the sequel "Rogue Justice".
