So, what is the news today?
Another story of sorrow,
A promise of justice—
Maybe tomorrow.
But today?
Nah, It is just another case,
Another face lost in a broken place.
A hospital is freaking supposed to be safe, All said,
But where was that safety when she ended up dead?
They will talk about protocols,
all neat and tight,
But,
where were they that night?
Call for protests,
Break some glass,
Will that fix what’s already passed?
Will anger and rage make things right,
Or just add fuel to our endless fight?
They will hold their meetings,
Discuss,discuss and plan,
But it’s just a script—
they’ve done it before, man.
Another committee, another task force
Will it change a damn thing?
Nah, of course.
The truth is,
It is a damn cycle, round and round,
Where justice is a word that rarely gets found.
They will promise,
They will cry,
And,
They will make it seem bright,
But in the end,
It is just another dark night.
Right?
They promised protection,
Safety at the door,
Where was that when they found her on the floor?
Was it too late?
Too quiet?
Too dark?
Or was it just another failure,
Just another night.
Just another woman.
Right?
