Where a Sin Gegins
Hearts of ice, souls of coal.
Keeping secrets from being known.
In a world full of scourn,
not allowing a mother to mourn.
Mind pure,purely evil.
A mother left to see her boy mangled.
Scarred and mangled.
Dead.
Dead at the bottom of the river.
The KKK executed a task to kill,
at their will.
A smirk on the face of a killer.
Emmit won't die in vain.
Emmit won't die without change.
Started as a dare, ended in death.
Mother choking back words she cannot say.
Cursing the night.
She's alone in fright.
Tears streaming down her face like a race.
A race to change.
