The last funeral of society


A mother’s laugh, a child’s tears

Today we are gathered here in

Respect of the last jovial

Society that has fallen in

The hands of human incompetence

It held as long as it whispered

In the ears of the label beginners

And runner mills to end the hatred

All it takes is one person

To call out to another generation

Every champion chosen was lost

To greed or political gain

Teaching themselves it was for the greater good

But how is separating

An innocent child from their

Laughing mother at a border

Because one chose latinx

Were the source of our problems

The best now is leading thousands

To their deaths, a march ancestors in america

Justified by calling it the trail of tears

The dead whispering in the wind

The dead forgives but they shall never forget

The germans justify that

Food and jobs, trump’s genocide

The last champion of the

Society and public had fallen

When an innocent and honest teen was gunned down

By a white officer in the 21st century

Today, we are gathered here to honor the last piece of society

We have fallen but will be forgotten
