Justice Has No Address

Why did it take you so long to see we need justice for our children, is it because an uptown school got affected? We have a problem, didn’t realize justice have a class… it can’t be we only see justice when we are affected … saving our children means dropping our issues of classicism and racism …now it’s close to your home you line the streets to protest… what about the KC youth that got shot? he’s dead …crime and violence has no shade it affects all class and race.

We must fight for equal rights and justice, don’t see our children from where they come from but the fact that they are the future of this nation…yes protest …line the streets…we must… but don’t look at the child’s address … up town …down town...across town...it should not matter where they are from, we need to end crime and violence don’t let their address be more important than saving our nation’s children.
