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 -

The Bandit Prowls, The Bandit Hides by Jasmine Cochran
COVID-19 is making its way through the world in silence, leaving destruction in its wake. This poem is for all of us.

Homage by Jasmine Cochran
Homage
This land is ours too, because of you
Your red rivers fertilized the land of the free
Because, still a stranger, you made home from hell
And conceived our culture from remnants
This land is ours too, because of you
Dreams ascend, fortified with dignity
Infinite glories our victories foretell
From fortitude birthed in your descendants
