Echoes of Injustice

Title: Echoes of Injustice

A siren wailed, piercing through the night,
Silencing the innocence with its blight,
Elijah’s breath taken, a life once bright,
Injustice cast a shadow, dimming the light.

A plea for justice echoed in the air,
Unheard amidst a world that couldn’t care,
A mother’s anguish, a community’s despair,
Seeking answers, for justice they did dare.

Fourteen months, a sentence rendered cold,
For a life extinguished, and stories untold,
Grief and anger in their hearts unfold,
As justice struggles to take its stronghold.

But Elijah’s spirit, it will endure,
Through memories and love, forever pure,
His laughter, his kindness, a world to allure,
A beacon of hope, his legacy secure.

Let us not forget, let us raise our voice,
For the injustices that still have no choice,
To fight for the day when all will rejoice,
And justice will prevail, over wrongs we deplore.

May this loss ignite the fire within,
Spark a change, where compassion will begin,
Till no more innocent lives are chagrin,
And the light of justice forever shines in.
