Peaceful violins

Levester Green and Doris Robinson

I want to hear the sounds of peaceful violins.

No, I don’t want no moment of silence,

I want a moment of shouting and outrage!

No more talking points, turn the page.

Black lives do matter, true that.

With Black-on-Black crime, where you at?

Mass killings from Vegas to a church in Texas,

who knows where and when the next is?

700 murdered in Chicago, 300 in Baltimore,

what in the hell are we fighting for?

I hate it when they say we need a discussion,

did someone just suffer a concussion?

So please, no more moments of silence,

let’s just stop the violence.

And ask forgiveness for those who have sinned,

and listen to the sound of peaceful violins,

yes, peaceful violins, peaceful violins.
