A Desperate Cry for Justice©
Copyright 2015
By Felina Silver Robinson
Warm tears streamed down my dismayed cheeks
Unsure of what found me here in this moment
I stand puzzled
Uncertain about what steps I should take
Overwhelmed with sadness
Angry at the idea of loss
Sickened by the ignorance among the uncaring
Burdened by all that must be done
Weakened by the weight of the world
But strengthened by self-determination to see that justice is done
Ready to take back what was lost to so many
It’s time to take a stand and let the wrongdoers know
That all eyes are now on them
No longer will they hide in the shadows
As their victims try to find their eternal resting place
We will stand as one to fight for justice
So that all our tears can once again be turned into joy
