11 days and counting
Over the death of George Floyd
Our numbers keep on mounting
We’re not just paranoid
Nor are we still the people
That you’d rather avoid
Who never had the privilege
That you’ve always enjoyed

11 days and counting
And we still demonstrate
That love is the only answer
For us to conquer hate
When  have you ever seen
So many participate
Or say that black lives matter
As part of the debate

11  days and counting
And no end is in sight
Despite Coronavirus
Which we still have to fight
We meet during the day
And march through the night
Because of our commitment
To try to make things right

11 days and counting
It’s long been overdue
That we rid ourselves of racism
That we always knew
To marshal in equality
Which I know we can do
If we finally come together
And live our lives a new
