no justice for colten




it was an accident
the man with the gun said
it was an accident
the man with the gun always says
but the colour of skin
the perception
of us as the other
of the savage other
the anger
the resentment
the never ending timeless hatred
the highway of tears
that has no beginning
and seems to have no end
pointed that gun again
and pulled that trigger again
there is no justice for colten
because there never has been justice
for those like colten
our tears are shed
our hearts cry out
so tired and weary
our sorrow translucent with time and disappointment
because of course
because of course
the man with the gun
walks away
and of course
of course there is no justice
there is no justice
for colten
only tears
only sorrow
that there is no justice
there will be no justice
for colten
for the many coltens
and because
the man with the gun
the white man with the gun
will always walk away
