The Legacy.......an ode to Amadou Diallo

Must i lie in my grave before you hear
the pounding of my heart
Must my eyes be closed before you
see my tears
Must my voice be silenced before
you hear my cries
Thousands have converged with
my name on their lips,in search
of truth and understanding
Demanding justice of a life that was,
is now a memory.
My hopes and dreams shattered
it was my tomorrow,a legacy of sorrow.
That in time will pass,because i am
here and everywhere you go i'll be there.
