Riot
RIOT
Palpable is change.
The Lord stated this in Psalms.
The world is in an arrest.
When change does manifest, what questions will we ask?
Palpability to change is a child mind’s eye.
She sees into the future and the past.
Her destiny will form as her life is discovered.
Reach for the moon to go beyond the clouds.
Inform the world that brutality is not allowed.
Offer a peaceful assembly to stop the violence.
This is to return peace to all of our lives.
The world is in an arrest.
When questions are not asked, many protest to express their frustration.
Police brutality is shown and communities demonstrate -
That hate is hate.
They march in the streets to display their distress.
Seeking justice and peace from social injustice.
Distinctive is togetherness and unity of thought.
The Lord stated in Psalms that change is palpable.
Reach for the moon to go beyond the clouds.
Inform the world that brutality is not allowed.
Offer a peaceful assembly to stop the violence.
This is to return peace to all of us - to all of our lives.
