A Tribute to Sasha Johnson
Roaring for justice and peace like a lioness
Shining as a beacon of light in the darkness of hate
She challenges the systems that breed injustice
With fire in her eyes and love in her heart
Building bridges and communities with her vision
Igniting the flames of change with her spark
She rallies the masses to share her dream
With words that empower and actions that speak
Surviving a brutal attack with courage
Refusing to give up like a wounded warrior
She battles for her life and her destiny
With spirit unbroken and will unshaken
Becoming a legend of our generation and our history
Shining bright in the sky like a star
We send her our prayers and our blessings
With gratitude, admiration and faith
