Echoes of Justice

Title: Echoes of Justice

In the depths of grief, a tragic tale unfolds,
Former officer’s guilt, a story yet untold.
Elijah McClain, a soul bright as the sun,
His light forever dimmed, an innocence undone.

We seek solace in a world where justice can’t be denied,
A sentence rendered, a hope for truth to be applied.
Fourteen months, a mere fraction of his precious life,
A reminder of the pain, of a future lost to strife.

But the echoes of justice resonate loud and clear,
For Elijah’s spirit whispers, we refuse to disappear.
In the pursuit of righteousness, we’ll never cease,
For his memory, and all others, we’ll strive for lasting peace.

Persistent cries for equality, as strong as a hymn,
We stand united to shatter the shadows, to let the light in.
The fight continues, for Elijah and the countless departed,
Their voices intertwined with ours, never to be disregarded.

As we navigate these troubled times, let our hearts be guided,
By compassion, empathy, and the truth we have confided.
For justice, not just in words, but actions we must employ,
To honor Elijah McClain, a symbol of hope and believe, for joy.
