George Floyd: A Poem
George Floyd
Not in control, they said
Awfully Drunk
He begged, he pleaded
“I can’t Breathe”
9 minutes, restrained, handcuffed gasping for air
Another one down, Another one left to suffer
Caught for a counterfeit 20 dollar bill
You do this officer?
This usual, Officer?
Mama, Please
Is it cuz the color of his skin?
Officer why, you kill this innocent of a man
George Floyd,
A brother, a son, a father
Suffocated, attacked, discriminated
Based on the color of his skin
His last breath was under a police officer
His last Breathe should’ve been in peace
I can’t breathe, he said
I can’t breathe
