who will cry for the little boy who cannot speak?
i said, who will cry for the little boy who cannot speak?
he lays still because he's finally at ease
peace
because he finally received the innocence he pled to be
at 14 years old he burned in a chair
while his family was threatened to be lynched if they don't flee
happened in 1944 but i see no change has came to be
George Stinney
i'm sorry that they seen you as a threat
with your 90 pounds and your 5'2 frame
in a blink of an eye they accused you of slaughtering two young white women lives
on june 16th, 1944 you carried your bible with essence to your execution
they say through God all thing as possible
but to the system all things are possible through word of mouth
they held your life within their hands as if it was a toy
they were entertained and played until you pronounced dead
seated in a chair that was not even close to your size
so they made you use the last bit of faith you had left to aid you in this wrongful execution
the mask that was covering your sweet ebony face knocked over
exposing your eyes that were filled with tears and agony
the spit running from your mouth uttered your innocence
but still they had no mercy
after 2 more shocks you were gone ... dead .... deceased
just to find out 70 years later your innocence was pronounced exactly how to claimed it to be
innocent until proven guilty but they did not even give you that opportunity
George the little who did not grow to be the man he ought to be
now tell me who will cry for the little boy who can not speak?
will it be you or me?
