Shadows of Injustice

Title: Shadows of Injustice

In a realm marred by shadows of injustice,
A sorrowful tale echoes through time,
A cop’s actions forever lost to remembrance,
A young life extinguished, a haunting chime.

Elijah McClain, a gentle soul nurtured by grace,
His vibrant light dimmed in an unjust fate,
An innocent spirit bound for celestial space,
Now a symbol of a system consumed by hate.

With hands of authority, blinded by power,
The cop’s actions tore at compassion’s seams,
Ruthlessly extinguishing a budding flower,
Leaving behind unfulfilled hopes and dreams.

In the courtroom, a semblance of justice prevails,
Yet, the sentence falls short, an agonizing grief,
For loss transcends the hollow words of jails,
Echoes of pain echo with no comfort or relief.

But in the face of darkness, hope shall arise,
Voices unite, demanding truth to prevail,
Amidst sorrow and anger, the spirit never dies,
Elijah’s memory forever, an unwavering tale.
