Say Her Name
hair in wind
free of scarf
men in power
crush the flower
stick to skull
skull to wall
girl on floor
blood in brain
say her name
say her name
rose on grave
fire online
slap from hand
rose in cheek
fire in eyes
fire in street
thorn in heart
youth abloom
rose in hand
rise for change
say her name
say her name
tear in eye
blur of lies
tear on tongue
taste of fear
salt in wound
sting of hate
stink of rot
taste the truth
hint of spice
hot on tongue
say her name
say her name
fist in air
hair in wind
knife to curls
hair a flag
truth a flame
girls ablaze
death a spark
birth of new
scarf on fire
burn the ties
burn the lies
say her name
say her name
