Stop the Senseless Killing

STOP the senseless killing By Michelle Morris 01/06/2020 We saw a man Murdered on The street, By the serve And protect Police on The beat... And he couldn't breathe - Begged and Pleaded to Be freed; To live... Not leave... But power... And control... And fear... And hate... And prejudice... And pride... Are all Elements that Together Did collide... And exploded In an apex of Evil Where good men And women Stood by Too fearful To try and Stop the Inevitable Death That was Coming To teach US All... That it's Time to (Once and for all) STOP The senseless Killing of People in this World. We cannot Unwind, Rewind or Delete the Images On our screens... In our hearts and Minds... Humanity's soul Is on the Line... NOW Is the time to Get it right... Justice Shouldn't be a Right we have to Fight for... Because we Need to Dig deep and Excise this Wound of Shared Darkness and Evil... And heal Our nations, Our people, Ourselves... And keep on Praying for Grace and Guidance... For love to Dwell... Because if we don't, We'll act it out Again: The dance of Death and Shame... And George Floyd Would have Died in Vain. © Michelle Morris, 2020
