Hold your babies
Tight tonight
For the ones
We watched
Drown in
The sorrow
Of their
Mamas and papas

Taken by the
Current of
injustice
And hate
That we
Too easily
turn a blind eye to

I can’t unsee this
How can you pretend
To not see this?
To see this and
Stay still
With thoughts
And prayers
And other niceties

So don’t hold
Your babies
Too tight tonight
Because
We have a
Fight to fight
There’s a  
fight to fight
For what’s right

There are people
Dying in vain
Drowning in sorrow
In the tears of
Innocence
While the world
Stays still

They deserve love
And the outstretched
Hand we were built with
Not waiting in cages
While plans for further
Division are drawn

Still we are still
What the ****
Is wrong with US?
