When They Come
by Eberechi I
When they came for Trayvon
You said, why was he wearing the hood?
When they came for Tamir
You said, why was he playing with a gun?
When they came for Sandra
You said, why didn't she comply?
When they came for Breonna
What did you say?
When I say, "it's the system"
When will you listen?
When people with power stand on the sidelines
How can things get better?
When they come for me
What will you do?
