"Echoes of Bloomfield New Jersey: The Tragic Legacy of Deshon Johnson"
In the heart of Bloomfield, on that fateful July day,
Deshon Johnson's life was tragically swept away.
His mother left with memories, to forever stay.
Empty rooms, echoes of what once was,
A home now haunted by unfathomable loss.
A talented artist, Sean Cos Mason was his musical stage name,
But his journey was cut short, engulfed in pain and flame.
A victim of senseless violence, a victim of hate,
As Wilson Romain's bus sealed Deshon's fate.
Witnesses watched in horror as the scene unfurled,
But justice was elusive in this cruel, twisted world.
Eleven years have passed, yet the pain remains,
As Deshon's mother tirelessly campaigns.
For accountability, for justice, for truth to be known,
For Deshon, for all, she fights on alone.
Let us not forget the legacy he left behind,
His music, his spirit, forever intertwined.
Share his songs, spread his story, let the world see,
The injustice that robbed him of his destiny.
So let's raise our voices, let's make some noise,
For Deshon, for justice, for hope to rejoice.
Share his story, share his song,
And keep his memory alive, forever strong.
