This poem is powerful witness to the murderous abuse of power that stole the life of Nate Woods, an innocent man. And this poem is powerful witness to Nate Woods’ humanity and his precious life. Thank you for words that compel us to remember in rage and love what was done, so that we will keep working for true justice that puts an end to the hellish courtrooms of this country. Blessings.
