There once was a young girl, asleep in her bed

March 13, 2020 ended her life, much dread

At midnight fast asleep, could never be a threat

Three plain clothes cop, entered the wrong beat

Looking for drug dealers, addressed ten miles away

No knock warrant, shot eight times, took her life that day

They made an obvious mistake, but have yet to pay

For their crime committed, no charges at bey

Breonna Taylor loved and cared for others

EMT Worker, who always helped another

Riddle with bullets, took her innocent life

Sleeping was a threat to these three low-lifes

If she was white, would they had done the same

Resoundingly, “no”, this was a crime shame

They didn’t care, they had guns the advantage

So why knock, just barge in without a care

Twenty shots rang out, shot her eight times

Because she was black, sleep, what a crime

Her body was riddle with bullets, an easy prey

She took eight bullets, her life was taken away

Protect and serve wasn’t their agenda

To kill was obviously, their agenda

Killing the innocent, they walked free

Roaming the streets, free they be

No justice, not even a descent apology

Justice for Breonna demand a decree

Many have shouted, no justice no peace

The police and justice system pretend don’t see

Louisville Kentucky stained with her blood

Much outcry for justice the land now flood

Twenty six billboards posted all around

Each one for every year of her life, abounds

Thanks to Oprah Winfrey, not to let this be

Uncovering bias and racism, for the world to see

Blacklives matter , and these cops must now pay

Shouts, chants and protest will remain aloud at bay

For their racist act, against a life not theirs’ to take

Prison awaits, their lives remain forever to bake

Justice will be served, the bus stop here today!
