how many shots have to ring before we hear freedom ring?

shout-out to Stacey Muhammad and Wild Seed Films on the production of "I Am Sean Bell"

we march to mourn another murdered in silence
where do our screams go?
why go to a place where dreams dry
and mothers cry for their sons on foreign soil
she did not send him here to die
would not have let him come here had she known
so who will hold her hand?
stroke her face?
fill that hole of empty baby place 41 times
who will acquit her of her grief?
-Bassey Ikpi


I AM SEAN BELL, black boys speak from Stacey Muhammad on Vimeo.

to protect and serve?
