Be Better

Be Better

Hey it’s me, I’m on my way
Happy and proud, ready for the day 
*Give Mumma a hug* , a kiss to My wife
not knowing this was it, the end of my life
forever a son but grown to another
A husband, a father, a son and a brother 
you will always need your Mum no matter how old you are 
I needed my Mumma when they went to far 
I cried, I begged, I pleaded to stay 
they didn’t care, it was just their day 

I did no harm, I begged for mercy 
the men who should protect me played bloody dirty
it was not my time, I’m angry and sad
because this is how it is, YES it is always This bad

for me, my neighbour, my brother, my son
they don’t care with a uniform and gun

who do we run too? to help us feel safe?
we are not your target, we are not your ing bait

its frustrating because others don’t understand
Where do you turn to without a helping hand 

this silent war that we are up against.
try explain that to your babies  what they have to face 

 you racists, give us a voice 
Making him leave was never your choice 
something better change for all to see
stop these ers, we our one family 
 what’s left Is just an aching void 
my brother I love you the great George Floyd
