George Floyd
May 25 2020
The last breath of a man
A Black man
Snatched away
Without reason
The death knell
Reverberated
The grief, the horror
echoed around the world.
The courage of a teen
The show it all video
The validating evidence
Leaving no doubt
Systemic racism and structures
Failed a Black man.
A year has gone by
The cycle of oppression
from birth to death
When will it end?
A daughter’s voice –
Make a difference
People’s voice –
Stand up, speak up
Challenge inequities
End racism
Let humanity win!
