Trevor Dsouza Poet Rhyme

Floyd's Lament

Floyd’s Lament
Why were you so harsh with me-
Because I am black?
Why were you harsh with me-
To impose your flak?
Why were you harsh and cruel
didn’t you hear me cry?
Why were you harsh I ask 
You can’t hear me from the sky.
Does your shame not torment you
For the change you’ve caused
That vague false so true
Will you not answer or pause?
This deed has sparked a fire
In every heart humanly true
Like a contagious wildfire
Do you see any difference between me and you?

Kim Rodrigues June 6, 2023 at 5:14 AM Cruelty extends to all. You can’t possibly be a good person who treats anyone with such contempt. Murder began with Abel. God saw the blood of Abel and sees the blood of all. Vengeance is His. God bless you, Trevor.
