I shed tears again
to release pain
growing, stirring me inside
moving the world outside
to demand accountability-
that the cause of justice begin
starting in Minneapolis
out into the World.
April twenty, twenty twenty-one
building on the curtailed life
of George Perry Floyd
triple Jury verdict
eased the squeeze
upon his neck.
Mr. Police Officer-
the under-dogs
they need to breathe.
Law enforcer dressed in suit
handcuffed yet breathing
free to see,
to feel Justice served
for all humanity
when nine year old spectator
and teenaged videographer
know that they saw wrong
Criminal Abuse of Power
Purveyor of Racist Agenda
devoid of compassion
stirring fear into poor young lives
holding them captive to inhuman scheme.
Verdict today only a start
to restoring human heart.
but now we breathe
a sigh of relief –
Time to release pent up tears and fears
Time to banish inhumane tactics
to the pit of hell
And change the world for better.
Justice is coming…
