Ahmaud Arbery 2.23 miles. Out for a run Some Georgia boys filled him with bullets But we don’t learn til two months later bout This ex-cop vigilante and his son
Breonna Taylor An EMT. Sleep in her bed Police rained down a storm of bullets But no cops have been indicted They arrested her watchful boyfriend, instead
George Floyd A man of character and stature Who stood for something, Killed on a curb with kneecaps in his neck The camel’s back was fractured
Land of the free Built on murder, theft, and rape Maybe collectively woke up Said “Now I see it!” Revolution’s taking shape.
Near and far, the world was sick But felt the fracture They ascended like a rapture Stepped in unison Proclaiming BLACK LIVES MATTER!
Equality don’t come on silver platters The world won’t sleep again til Black Lives Matter |
