Somebody Is Shooting Our Children Poem by Hebert Logerie

Somebody is killing our children in Harlem
Somebody is using and abusing the system
To destabilize and destroy our communities.

The police are shooting our children in many cities
The police, who've sworn to uphold the laws
Are behaving like criminals, like outlaws.

Somebody is choking our brothers at the corner
Somebody is assaulting our sisters at the harbor
Bring the cameras to record the crimes of the henchmen.

Somebody is hurting our children in Pakistan
Somebody is killing our children in Ferguson
The blood of our children is flowing in the gutters.

The terrorists are shooting our brothers and sisters
The extremists have infiltrated every level of the system
The racists are shooting our beautiful children in Harlem.

The police are profiling, and harassing our brother-men
They aim and shoot to kill our family members and children
When will all casualties and indiscriminate executions end?

This is the Christmas season throughout our great strong land
We want the executioners to cease their operations forever
In the name of the Holy Spirit, of the Son, and of the Father.

Our world is heading backward, the devils are taking over
Please call the Priest, the Rabbi, the Imam, and the Pastor
Somebody is killing our friends, our children and our future.
