“We let it slide,
turned our eyes inside-blind
when you made our little sister cry
burnt tears,
blood, we let it slide
when you held our brother
by the throat
until he choked
out
and died.
We let it slide
when we finally tried
to make a sound but
you had each other’s back
and lied.
We let it slide.
Even now
we let it slide.”
