Elegy for Michael Brown

In shadows cast by setting suns, a tale unfolds,
Of Michael Brown, a story tragically told.
Strolling with a friend beneath the daylight's grace,
A life interrupted, a cruel, abrupt embrace.

Street corners echoed with a grievous cry,
As destiny unfolded, bidding goodbye.
A chapter ended, a young soul laid bare,
Injustice prevailing, a heavy cross to bear.

Oh, Michael, your steps silenced too soon,
Underneath the indifferent, watchful moon.
A community mourns, a nation reflects,
On wounds laid open, on profound effects.

Yet, in this elegy, we find a plea,
For justice, for change, for a world to see.
In the quiet moments, let empathy rise,
Healing the fractures beneath tearful skies.

May your memory endure, a symbol of strife,
Guiding us toward a more compassionate life.
In the tapestry of time, your name etched in care,
An elegy for Michael, a plea in the air.
