Protest
by Coryn Clark, August 17, 2020
Face the heat of anger and anguish,
Those flames are not yours to extinguish.
Smoke of denial that smothers
Issues from fear, Sisters and Brothers.
Youth, raise your fists and voices,
With every step justice rejoices.
Fires that burn in the streets
Light the truth of past deceits.
Elders say, Remember,
Our story’s an undying ember.
