They Are Our Children
By Poetess Mimi Truth

Davis

The children of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! They are our future, they are strength Yet our streets continue to run red with their blood Injustice screams from the tears of their mothers Hated runs rampant, unchecked The love we marched for just a distant memory The struggles that united has dissipated over the many years It’s time to take up arms for this struggle, not guns, that is as they do Weapons of consciousness, words of verbs, words of poetry To enlighten a new day, of what stands at heaven's gate Because intolerance will longer reign Turning a blind eye those monsters in the street must end It’s past time to be indigent to these MURDERS Allow love to be the power of this struggle It will be love that saves our children in the end Tear down those walls of violence and hated Evil for evil will only gain more evil A new day is dawning Let loves light shine in you so that others may see it Pass on happiness and healing Until we come together in love we will stay divide and our children will suffer death.
