She Rebuked
A poetic tribute to Sonya Massey
She rebuked when he stepped in her house.
Compassion? Not for her. He never carried an ounce.
Another young Black woman violated in her own home.
They treat us as if we shouldn’t have a home to roam.
How do you tame a beast with the authority to murder someone in their own place of peace.
Even a Black woman of faith can’t escape the yellow tape.
So now we cry because she didn’t have to die.
Too many Black daughters and sons are dying unjustly by the hand of a gun.
She rebuked. Disapproving of the devil and he ended her life with a heat flash from cold metal.
Sonya didn’t have to die it’s a shame.
But she didn’t die in vain and everyone will say her name.
~~Dedicated to Sonya Massey
