On Floyd
On Floyd
Riots unleashed, arson, looting and destruction.
You officers of law mindful of your job
Are you aware of what you have done?
You judged and executed not your duty
But a human life.
Is that ‘bill’ more precious than breath
You constricted so brutally?
Were you so inhuman not to see him struggle
For his life?
You are no better than a beast
Officer of the Law.
You heard the protest of one man
Now, you have thousands screaming for your blood.
