Making it Reel
From the moment I heard on that stage
Telling your story through a veil of tears
My heart went out to you
I know I must do everything in my power
Use my energy, time, and words to amplify your tale
I pledge in this poem, upon this page
To work to bring about justice for Ricky
We cannot bring your son back to life
We cannot give you back your lost years
We can ensure that Ricky’s legacy
Is that no other mother must go through
the same horror your family endured
The police must be brought to account for their role
They should be there to assist not resist
To bring the criminals to account in the courts
Not spy upon the victim’s loved ones
Sukhdev Reel you are an inspirational woman
A caring and loving mother
A strong brave warrior, a modern day Boudica
Placed in the spotlight you did not ask for
Let us make justice real for the Reel’s
Finally give them a tiny degree of peace of mind
