My Heart is heavy today With the many injustices and wrongful killings occurring World wide; with the many rights of our fellow citizens being ignored; and even the slaughter of our children under the name of justice…, these tears I shed are for those true peace keepers who have fallen in the line of duty and for those who have fallen simply because they fit a stereotype; These tears fall carrying the weight of the innocent, the pain of a Mothers loss, the pain of a Father wishing his life was traded to pay for his Sons cost, the pain of Best friends we will never see again due to the color of their skin…. This is the prayer of the MANY Tears I shed even now….

DEAR GOD, HEEL OUR TEARS

by LIMITLESS

They wont stop falling!

These Tears demand Justice!

These Tears call from deep with-in born from our ancestors and kin;

Who struggled to be heard, muffled under the sounds of whips, chains, and screams-

Preaching, “WE TO ARE HUMAN BEINGS”;

THESE TEARS DEMAND JUSTICE;

They demand that the price of a life requires re-appraisal,

let’s just put it all on the table-

We are being targeted due to social labels-

Rights dismissed under the cloak of maintaining economical balance.

WE must rise-up to the challenge of breaking this cycle,

Under the gun or in front of some, “WE must all stand together to protest this violence-

Screaming that we are more than insignificant!”

WE ALL MATTER.

Our Tears fall the same! They reverberate a message of distress,

“WE THE PEOPLE-

are trying to heel a nations pain!”

Feel our Tears fall from faces of many shades, crying out for the heeling of a nations rage….

WE owe it to all who have shed these same tears mingled with the blood of our past!

WE owe it to the future to pave a evergreen path!

WE owe it to Sanford, Florida;

WE owe it to Ferguson, Missouri;

WE owe it to Seattle, Washington;

WE owe it to the untold blood shed over rascal divides,

WE OWE…,

WE OWE it to our children, to our future, and to our past.

OUR, tears demand this-

A world heeled from indifference,

WE, owe it to ourselves….!

It’s our World to change…!

Aren’t you tired of ignoring the tears of your pain….?
