i knew this reckoning coming all along

i didn’t think it will finally enrage

so long

so long

thoughts are dismembered 

the bodies of tender people 

violated 

the bodies of tender people 

torn apart 

when is it time for a new start?

the names of those unsilenced are forced to be silenced

their lives forgotten  

only “white heroes” are kept unforgotten 

mothers, daughters, sisters, women

no, it’s your easy target; there

no, their bodies are private; not your arbitrary outlet

perhaps i should no longer believe in a brand new day when reality worsens day by day  

perhaps this is another cry in the dark
