Louima

Louima, I say your name. It sounds bright, it should light up
An alert
In this system of despair
Where those who choose to care have to scream to be heard
Have to press to hear a word
Against the blue wall

And this world?
Centuries to blame
Some try and fight. Most say, "give up, it won't move, it's inert
And less painful to forget." It's easier not to search our regrets
And change.
So much is lost but there's so much to be gained

Louima, I say your name
It sounds bright, it lights up your daughter
Like you, I see hope in your daughter
