Body count:
1–1–3–4
Not much less,
Nor many more.

Fated souls,
Shot & killed.
Drops of blood,
Shed & spilled.

Innocent? Maybe.
Guilty? Some say.
All were black;
None were gray.

How many Mums are lonely tonight,
Won’t get to stop & hold them tight?
How many kids stare at the wall,
Don’t really know what happened at all?

Body count:
1–1–3–4
Let’s all pray
It don’t happen no more.
