George Floyd Rip

George Floyd RIP

A man on the floor
A boot on his neck
The foot of the law
Serve and protect

Life is snuffed out
A family will mourn
Creating a riot
A new victim's born

When will it stop?
Where is the end?
Killed by the men
Employed to defend

The colour of skin
Predicts your fate
Take off your foot
Before it’s too late

Thank you. I hope the killers face many years in prison for this murder.
