Stand
Stand up and stand out
Speak up or show out
Witness turned Accomplice
With Silence
Seeking Peace
But met with violence
Will it end will stop
It’s been years maybe not
Marching for centuries
Didn’t deter the deaths or injuries
Of the innocent
Racist malevolence
Prevailed like prejudice
People In high places
Full of hate and envy
Based on races
Time to change this
Systematic racism
Tradition has been tragic
Countless closed caskets
Conservatives won’t admit it
What’s “White Privilege”?
To see real change
takes more than a village
Change has to be global
Like the pandemic
Universal classless
Right to life & liberty
Even if you’re cashless
With no assets
Stand up when there’s doubt
Speak up to reroute
