Justice For George

In Honor of George Floyd and the innocent lives stolen before and after him…
-God Bless the family of George Floyd

-From my heart to yours…Meghan C. Hutchings

A façade of armor hiding the weak
Lost followers with arrogant voice
Excessive force and violence speak
As ignorance guides evil choice…

How dare these bias and cowardly men
Abuse power and dictate one’s fate
How dare these few minds fearless of sin
Mock equality and justice with hate?

To serve and protect, as most officers do
Their commitment to all humankind
Black and white-skinned, brown, mixed, any hue
Human treatment should be colorblind.

Open your eyes, beyond your own pride
Skin colors, mixed and united, you see
Yet it’s dark-skinned people whose rights are denied
As fools equate race with one’s dignity.

Have you ever looked deep, beyond color and race
Into the hearts, dreams, ambitions, and goals
For history, sadly, cannot be erased
But the lessons we’ve learned can mend souls…

As a writer and teacher, with skin pale and white
Black history, heroes, the need to reform
I’ll write and forever teach my students to fight
For silence is a coward’s platform.

Beyond broken, my heart cries for each soul
Who, by ignorance, their precious life taken
To their families, I yearn to replace what they stole
Your loved one will never be forsaken.

If I had room, I’d list every name
Of all innocent blacks who have been killed 
“Justice for George!” is my current proclaim.
Until then, this world won’t be still.

The country is mourning; no one can deny
Justice lingers…no one can avoid
Rest with your mother; breathe as we cry
God bless you for changing the world, GEORGE FLOYD!

--With Love…Meghan
