Ways from home
Hands tightening, my neck is broken
From the front to the back his batons a choken
Fear in my body for my posture is a slopen
Cheer in the voices from the violence of hate
Screaming death to us all, it must be our fate
Hollering for mama to open the gate.
See you later they said, just you wait.
Get on home boys, he said and don’t be late.
No where to run,
I guess they were having fun,
I got you now boy, they said it was a gun.
Sincerely, from the grave, your loving little son
