Justice For George

Justice for George

We all saw the knee, 
and Chauvin's disdain.
We all heard the plea, 
yet there was no refrain.   

 Please help us un-see 
what was seen by us all.
Give solace to his family,
And meaning to his fall.

Heal the countries heart,
and Lift the nation's pall.
With Justice for George,
it's the only righteous call.

That's so true, Gene, and I appreciate your expressing it in this poem. I simply could not watch the trial. I became too upset. I so fear the killer will be found not guilty.
