I Demand Justice For Ryan Gainer Death

I demand Justice, For the world's hatred, a blight, Justice for the innocent's tragic plight, Where evil prospers in the night, Like shadows dark, obscuring light. I demand Justice, For black lives' suffering, deep and stark, The violence's pain leaves a lasting mark, Gunshots ring out, like a predator's bark, As if life's worth is just a lark. I demand Justice, For Ryan Gainer's untimely end, Shot three times, a life to rend, As if his fate they could bend, Such cruelty, we cannot pretend. I demand Justice, Tired of homes targeted, hearts torn, Tired of excuses for lives worn, Tired of the innocent being shorn, By violence, leaving families forlorn. I demand Justice, Ryan was no demon or beast, To withstand bullets, to say the least, His strength not that of a fierce beast, But a troubled teen, his pain released. I demand Justice, No excuse for taking a life's breath, No justification in facing death, Life's value beyond measure or depth, Why steal it away, with every breath? I demand Justice For now and evermore, Let fairness and equality soar, Justice, our beacon, forevermore.
