The Coalition for Truth and Justice

It’s been nearly 7 years my friend since we said our good-byes

Not a day goes by that the thought of that still brings tears to my eyes.

You were murdered by this state

No matter how hard I tried to change your fate.

Your death was all wrong and it breaks my heart

I loved you from the start.

Always being the friend that you were. Never asking for a thing.

Always telling me it’d be okay no matter what fate would bring.

But you were wrong about that my dear friend

For in my heart there is a pain that will never end.

On your last day I lost control and put pain on your face.

I’m sorry for that Kia I was a disgrace.

Still if I had it to do over again and hide my pain from you.

I’m still not sure what I’d do. Shameful of me but true.

I never knew I could feel so much loss and pain of losing you like that

While they pulled you away in chains I just simply sat.

I felt helpless and angry all in the same moment of time

And in my heart I knew you did no crime.

I hated Texas for what they were about to do..

Lay you on a gurney and inject poison in you.

Rest in peace my handsome young son.. And be there for me when I come..

                                                          I love you Kia...and will forever carry you in my heart
