This isn’t a moment,
It’s a movement
Towards our mutual
Self-improvement
George Floyd was the catalyst
For us getting into this
Though we would surely be remiss
If we failed to insist

That justice be
The end result
For all of us
Without a doubt
As we demonstrate
And shout
That’s what it’s
All about

Equal justice
Under the law
Is what we
Never had before
We want it now
And ever more
Which is at
The Constitution’s core

We want  law enforcement
That we deserve
The kind that exists
To protect and serve
Not the kind we
Frequently observe
That weilds their power
To unnerve
