By the time you let go
It was too late
What was it with you
That consumed so much hate?
How you knelt down
On his neck for so long
Did nothing in you
Scream, Wait this is wrong?
How bout the words
"I can't breathe"
The humanity
To give A MAN some relief
To see life drain
From pleading eyes
There has got to
Be some evil inside
A grown man
Calling out for his mother
How you had
No love or care for this brother
Black, white or brown
Let's love one another
One thing is for sure
We all bleed the same colour
I guarantee now
You'll never forget
What you thought was nothing
Is histories biggest upset
The BLM movement
Worldwide protestings
Black & white marching
From your act resulting
In that moment in time
You hadn't a clue
Just what the results
Of your actions would do
If you'd known in that time
The after taste from your cup
Would be so bitter
You would have got up!
Police brutality, racism
And the latter
All I can say is
Black lives really do matter
The hurt the pain
The families destroyed
Guess now you'll always remember
The name George Floyd.
