It's been two thousand years, But here we are again. An innocent dark-skinned man Was lynched, And it engages and enlightens our world. Let's not make this a habit. And Pilate's here too, Cowering in Hitler's bunker, Washing his tiny hands, Blathering: I'm not Responsible. That's what truth is.

Pontius Potus
It's been two thousand years, But here we are again. An innocent dark-skinned man Was lynched, And it engages and enlightens our world. Let's not make this a habit. And Pilate's here too, Cowering in Hitler's bunker, Washing his tiny hands, Blathering: I'm not Responsible. That's what truth is.
As George Floyd's daughter proclaimed: "My father has changed the world." I pray she's right.
