Blue Saturday (AS THE WORLD CRIES)

BLACK PEARL

SPECTRUM WAVE PUBLISHING

How do you feel when things

Is it about to get real?

As we toss and turn,

Eventually, we surely

Have not learned

Because

We still got burnt

When certain authorities

Have come at us with full force.

However, we stood there

Looking lost.

Blue Saturday,

Three days before the holiday.

A wedding was presumed—

A bride and groom

Were supposed

To jump over the broom.

It turned out

The saddest day.

Blue Saturday,

The world has ever lived,

Including his family,

Wife and kids.

It became a

Blue Saturday,

A day before Sunday,

Two days before Monday,

Before thirty days.

Dark clouds broke the morning.

---

Into silent nights,

Prince once sang How you

Leave us standing

In a lonely world,

So cold.

The heaviest

Led to purple rain.

Dove’s confession

Proceeded them,

Circling around:

Child to a mother,

Son of a mother,

Son to father,

Nephew to aunt,

and uncle,

Cousin to brother,

Brother to sister,

Grandson to grandparents,

Husband to wife,

Father to his children.

Blue Saturday,

The doves cried.

---Trigger warning

Please note that the following material

contains sensitive content.

Your discretion is advised."

The Blue Saturday

Hit a blow

Towards a blushing bride

Very hard.

Autumn leaves

Lied and observed the loss,

Soaked gore

In the world’s borough.

South side, the city streets

Mourned the tragic loss

That proclaimed his innocence,

Passing a valuable legend.

2Pac harmonized,

Remastered by Mr. Mister:

Take these broken wings,

Because I saw the spirit

Within his eyes.

We were so speechless

That Blue Saturday

Disconnected the community.

When his wings came,

He had learned to fly again.

---

Remind you:

While this event was totally heartbreaking,

The team, band of three,

Had served to be guarded

With their body armor,

But the BWC’s were not on,

Which left a huge suspicion.

The satellite and other witnesses

Panorama-filmed the view.

The universe evidenced,

Convinced the bullet holes

Were definitely solved

the main clues

However,

once again

Blue Saturday

The shield

would forever

be against us.

Neither our

Allies,

nor friends

Amadou Diallo,

Vernard Davis,

Charmene Picketts,

Alberta Sprugill,

Timothy Stansbury…

As the families felt the heat,

The list goes on.

The best of times

May land all in threes,

As the worst of times

We always remember:

An innocent man.
