Brendon Lawrence
by Michelle Hubbard
Brendon Lawrence
was somebody’s son,
take away by a gun
(mourned by his Day and his Mum)
Brendon Lawrence
Was somebody’s brother
There’ll never be another
As his kin will now discover
Brendon Lawrence
Was part of St.Anns
Living, dreaming, and making plans
- somebody took his life in their hands
Brendon Lawrence
Wrong place, wrong time
Victim of an unforgivable crime
THIS COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR CHILD…OR MINE!
Brendon Lawrence
And how many more?
And how many other before?
WHAT IS THIS JUSTICE SYSTEM FOR??
Brendon Lawrence
Can’t rest in his grave
Not when there’s so many young lives to save
Not ‘til cowards are exposed, by the brave.
Brendon Lawrence
We owe him the truth
Nottingham let down this young Black youth
Murdered in broad day light
AND WE CLAIM THERE IS NO PROOF!?
Brendon Lawrence
Deserve to have peace
His family need some release
If you know ANYTHING
Speak up, PLEASE!
Brendon Lawrence
It’s such a shame
That we live in a society that will not name
And bring to justice those who are to blame.
