ODE TO GEORGE FLOYD

ODE TO GEORGE FLOYD

We did away with the old huge crude shackles

Free!! Our teeth, in the sun, sparkled

But there will always be shackles on a George Floyd.

Cheek pressed to the ground

Breath is no where to be found

There will always be a knee on a George Floyd's neck

"He is not fucking moving" bystanders will always cry

But when an eagle has its prey, all left is to fly

A George Floyd will always groan while gasping till he goes quiet

A George Floyd would be long gone

But the clouds will hang and watch the whole city burn

Yet a George Floyd will never return

Where is the human that once lived inside us?

What did we do to incur this curse?

When will a George Floyd be able to breathe?
