The photos are no longer black and white

In violent color

Buildings are destroyed

Join up, speak out, and stand for what’s right

When I was in middle school

I learned about Civil Rights

How riots, fires, tear gas were deployed

The photos are no longer black and white

 For years have raged a silent, unfair fight

But one we can no longer avoid

Join up, speak out, stand for what’s right

Too many have fallen to this spite

Breonna Taylor, Emmet Till, George Floyd

The photos are no longer black and white

His death has brought awful crimes to the light

And throughout protest a revolution buoyed

Join up, speak out, stand for what’s right

So now we call on you dear friend, unite

Equality should be enjoyed by all

The photos are no longer black and white
