In the ordinary way
An ordinary child
Found ways to deal with
His surroundings
By surrounding them
Counselor by day
Lovin the thug life at night
A victim of society
Jailed for aggressions
of the most heinous kind
Rehabilitated without
The attention of the system
Decried you were once blind
Karma could not forgive you
Society would not forgive you
The system was never kind
So they murdered you for your past crimes
Yet today you are
Still teachin
Lessons with twist and turns,
Reaching
From beyond the grave
What did you learn?
What are we learning?
R.I.P
Finally
Mr. Stanley "Tookie" Williams
