Justice for George Floyd.

Get down on your knees, as you did on his neck. Beg forgiveness of the lives, you swore to protect.

Get down on your knees, feel our hatred for you. George saw his own death, you fucking did too.

Get down on your knees, and confess to the killing. All you had to do was listen, but you were unwilling.

Get down on your knees, for the rest of your days. Your life is now forfeit, in so many ways.

Get down on your knees, and let it sink in.

The police killed again, and it had everything to do with skin.

SAY. HIS. NAME.

This poem is written in honor of George Floyd who was murdered in Minneapolis, MN on May 25, 2020 by four officers protecting nothing but the systemic racism that continues to poison our country. My heart is with his family and the black community. This has to stop.
