Blind Justice
There is no justice for the burning tree.
There is no justice for Breonna Taylor
Does blind justice see color?
There is no justice for Breonna Taylor
as long as her life is taken
lightly.
There is no justice for Breonna Taylor
until the cops who shot her seven times
pay.
There is no justice for Breonna Taylor
as long as color is an excuse to kill.
There is no justice for Breonna Taylor.
There is no justice for Breonna Taylor.
There is no justice for Breonna Taylor.
Until we make her death ours
and set the forest
ablaze.
