Jessica, You Teacher
24 years
Jesus lived longer
...little momma
Your little boy
was your first
Now he is
your only
So easily
you showed us
what Jesus said
all along
everybody is our
neighbor
our Jesus
...our Jessica
...and until
Jessica’s life matters
nobody’s life matters
She was just
a little home care nurse
Just a busy little slave
She wanted to be
free so bad
...she paid with her life
She knew what I know
I’m not free to live
like I am allowed to think
muzzled, silenced
subhuman submission
Rebel as I do
...say what you really think
...it’s going to cost you
But not doing so
...will also cost you
your life
