Justice for All?
By: Quinn Fish ‘21
Where was the justice for Trayvon Martin?
As his innocent body lay lifeless
on the pavement, surrounded by skittles
and oozing blood.
Where was his justice?
Where was the justice for Breonna Taylor?
A beautiful beacon of hope,
8 darting bullets steal her
healing future,
yet our judges assist
the white cop,
without a second thought.
Where was her justice?
Where is justice for George Floyd?
He pleads
“I can’t breathe”,
as his last breath
escapes his exasperated lungs.
Our “protectors” continue their day,
with the blood
of another black American on their badges,
with no shame.
Where is his justice?
A system founded on racist ideals,
in a country led by men
who sing the praises of white supremacy,
cannot serve equality.
The sweet juices of justice
will not quench our thirst
without the overthrowing
of the white men oppressing
our country.
