Emmett Till
August 28th was a harrowing day,
The life of a black boy, taken away.
No justice was served to his killers,
The nation was shocked by his murder.
After being abducted by two white men,
He was repeatedly beaten and shot in the head.
Despite the harsh brutality and racial hatred,
Those devils were wrongfully acquitted.
His mother was infuriated at those racists,
His brutal demise was a barbaric injustice.
His memory is heartbreaking to explain,
His death ignited a momentous flame.
A victim of an infamous hate crime,
A boy who was full of valor and life.
Let’s all stand up against unfairness,
Like this brave boy who lived in prejudice.
Our hearts go out to his family and friends,
Remember his life before his callous end.
The lady who did this with a soul so heartless,
Had to live in the shame no one would forget.
His legacy will live on permanently,
Like the posthumous honors he received.
His killing was inhumane and horrific.
To this day, it’s still remorseless and tragic.
