Eight minutes and forty- six seconds
Was he supposed to consider this a blessing?
You killed him because of the color of his skin
Is this your idea of a win …
“They’re going to kill me, they’re going to kill me”
And they did.
Every ounce of life sucked from beneath his skin
If all lives matter then what about his?
“ I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe,” George Floyd’s last words
But they did die with his now being heard
Racism continues to be an underlying issue
But you can’t just wipe it away with a tissue
One day I hope Martin Luther King’s dreams can be fulfilled
Where one day we live in a nation where we are not judged by the color of our skin
But by the content of our character
We all have that dream
