Sonya Stewart Poet Blank verse

Fight For Me

Fight for me my friends  
I died because I couldn't fight for myself
the weight of his body was on my neck      
I couldn't breathe 
fight for me my friends 
because I died because of hate 
The colour of my black skin offended him so he took my life
Fight for me my friends 
because he will kill again 
this time it will be your son your daughter 
they will not breathe again
let my lifeless body be the symbol for you my friends to rise 
Fight for my justice but fight for my son he must have a chance to live a chance to breathe 
This is a fight for freedom 
Fight for me my friends so this can end the  war again colour and class
Fight for me my friends because all lives matters  
Rise against hate ...rise for justice....set my spirit free...rise for freedom 
Fight for me my friends  
I am George Floyd...rise and fight for yourself
