How many battles (Day 1232)

How many battles 

can we fight   how many 

can we win 

the sky itself bearing down 

on us   

the sun   wrapped 

in a blanket of sedition

we yearn for lost freedoms 

that may never have been ours

and for justice

which surely never was 

we cry out his name 

ears reverberating with 

a thunderous silence 

on the bruised morning air
