by
Curtiss L. Hayes, Jr.


B irthed a human just like you
R ejoiced in life just like you
E njoyed a good movie just like you
O verjoyed by love just like you
N ursing aspirations worked hard just like you
N ew horizons ahead just like you
A woman gifted just like you

T reated inhumanely unlike you
A live no longer unlike you
Y ears taken away unlike you
L aw denies her justice unlike you
O nly shot 8 times unlike you
R eality disgusts us unlike you
