Money Mississippi
What did he do?
That would cause two fools to act out this crime.
Over something he did or didn't do.
Where was the justice?
What was the honor is his death?
For two to admit they killed him over an alleged whistling.
And faced no punishment.
Money, Mississippi, your legacy is sealed.
Concerning the death of Emmett Till.
Cowards, always act brave in hurting a child.
His death still is a reminder of unwarranted injustice.
When you leave the power to see those in charge make the right decision.
Then they wonder.
Like many supporters do.
When years later the law comes after you.
