For Breonna Taylor
--
we’re riding together
one mission
one voice for Breonna Taylor
and for all the unnamed Black women
who have been killed and brutally taken from this world
We ride because killers need to be punished.
We ride because we want justice.
We are not born knowing
it’s something that we have to learn
sometimes
it comes easy
Sometimes
it’s hard
Like life
Like justice
Like equality
but with commitment
dedication
confrontation
We CAN DO IT
TESE -TESE- TESE
But it takes energy
all your muscles , your mind and your body working in sync
to move the bicycle
to move the wheels
how fast you move is equal to how much energy you use
to turn the spokes of the wheel
the faster we learn how to ride
the faster we get to be free
Free to go wherever we want
Without fear
This is LIFE
we can’t do it by ourselves
because one person riding fast is not going to get us there
we need someone else to push us forward
TESE TESE TESE
So we ride towards the same destination
the other side; Freedom
and it doesn’t matter what kind of bike you have
how much money you spent or make
Doesn’t matter if it’s borrowed or handed down
doesn’t matter how tall or how short you are
The color of your skin
Whether you’re young or old
Or how much you weigh
it only matters
It only matters
That you are willing to ride
Today we are here
TESE TESE TESE
RIDING for justice
SPEAKING UP for justice
Because it’s JUST US
HERE
And there will be challenges along the way
Bumps , curves
Setbacks
aches, pains
But we are all
HERE
NOW
Demanding justice
Riding together
RiDING FOR Breonna Taylor
RIDING FOR OUR LIVES
- Tese means All of us /Together in my native tongue Shona from Zimbabwe
