Justice For George F

It hurt me to know I died today.. I hurt me to know its by the Hands of someone who swore To protect me. It hurts to know that my daughter Grows up with a dad. I've made my Mistakes but why did my life end? It hurts to know that racism still exist Did MLK march for equality and freedom? My air flow was constricted, my hearing Going in and out, my eye sight faded away I saw the light but was scared to go. It hurts me to know I was recorded for My final hour, for proof I understand, but Why didn't anyone help me? I hurts me to know my lifeless body A lifeless soul laid on the pavement built By my ancestors and still no one helped Me..

Great poem and so many people still do not get it.. so many say he was a criminal, that does not mean he deserved to die... Great poem.
