As we mark 5 years of the death of George Floyd.
Any community agreements are now null and void.
We traveled through a wormhole back to the 1950's.
When white supremacy was the rule in all of our cities.
That mindset has increased and reared its ugly head again.
With talk of Donald Trump pardoning Derek Chauvin.
We're in another dimension and gone back in time.
When judgement is rendered before there's a crime.
Many are unsure if we are still on planet earth.
When only MAGA and the Jews have value and worth.
With babies crying and dying all around the globe.
They never asked to be dragged down that wormhole.
Derek Chauvin has been found guilty:
of unintentional murder in the second degree,
of murder in the third degree,
and manslaughter in the second degree.
"I can't breathe" was George Floyd's last uttered sound
as former police officer Chauvin pinned Floyd's head to the ground.
After this fatal incident occurred in Minnesota,
there were widespread protests all over America.
Along with Chauvin's civil rights infraction,
he has also been booked with tax evasion.
So passes another episode of race-related crime
as Chauvin goes to prison to serve his time.
from various news sources
Did you ever dream of me?
Did you ever in your heart see
The true love that's between you and me
For the whole world to see
Deep inside your being, I see
What most long to be
Smart, sweet, loveable, and free
Is what your inner being is to be
Look me in the eyes
And never say any good-byes
Life is so short here
So in your eyes no tears
Thaddeus Chauvin
(c) January 2010
Before I knew you
I searched for a lady so true
I didn't think it existed
The Love that's inside you
When I found you on the net, great
I knew on the inside we'd make a great duet
Then, I spoke to you so true
We both didn't know what to do
We got close by talking about books
our heart each other took
In vain, none was to be
Look hard and tell me what you see
Now that we've met
and chat a lot on the web
What you want this to be
In love or just friends you see

DEDICATED to Justice-Lover, Freedom-writer, THOMAS WELLS:
"OTHER man's ... chokehold" : American cop
Black folk and freedom heroes hit the street
Rage, rage against looting what The Slaves "bought"
Yet by choice, they rose above the slave's lot
But THEY who love cruel lies, love to repeat
"OTHER man's chokehold" : American cop
Good women, my sisters, weep, some abroad
The crime, in Alabama now, repeat!
Rage, rage against looting what The Slaves "bought"
Forgiveness of King ... Mandela, forgot:
Gandhi, India's slaves ... raised your sugars sweet
"OTHER man's ... chokehold" : American cop
Why protect monsters harvested like crop?
Called Officers LANE and CHAUVIN ... repeat
Rage, rage against looting what The Slaves "bought"
Paid again by Martin, more names by lot
Risking disease but grieving in the street
"OTHER man's ... chokehold" : American cop
Rage, rage against looting what The Slaves "bought"
"There were at least 15 conduct complaints against him, the Star Tribune reported, citing records from the Minneapolis Police Department's Internal Affairs. Most of the complaints were closed without discipline.
Mr Chauvin's personal files were heavily redacted, but there are details of one complaint from 2007. The complaint concerns allegations Mr Chauvin pulled a woman from her car and frisked her after she was caught driving 10mph over the speed limit.
A report found Mr Chauvin did not record audio of the incident and failed to switch his dashcam on during the stop."
He placed his ugly knee on a cuffed and overpowered man by 4 armed cops, and for almost 9 minutes. No plea entered his ear canal, let alone a heart. Watch the "policing of USA" on video & recognize a fascist & nazi in our midst. God help black men ... and ALL of us.
Why does USA still protect the Saudis whose travel documents - in some cases to learn flying in the USA but not to focus on landing skills - allowed the 9-11 terrorists to kill 3000 people in USA in 2001? Maybe because it helps USA lead the racist agenda against mainly the men from the third world (They always wanted the women of the darker places, LOL!) shalom, shalom!
Derek Chauvin, a success story from McDonalds burger-flipping, to ARMED guy:

Athol Fugard is a leading voice in theater of Africa
will he condone silence about the street execution f George Floyd?
Dennis Brutus was being deported from USA in 1980s, from U. Penn
(I helped get him to speak against South Africa's Racist Constitution,
at Ohio University in 1984. I confess, with Libyan money as donation!)
Would the late Dennis Brutus be quiet about fascist cop Derek Chauvin?
I grew up under apartheid, deemed inferior to every white-skinned African
Not allowed to go or study where I wanted in South Africa
And loved to hear Steve Biko, Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King
Would they have been silent about "BLACK LIVES" don't matter?
Why do you write?
Are you really in the tradition of free expression, and poetry for ALL?
the year of the Corona Shutdown & "Police Knee on his Neck"
saw the death of beloved pastor & teacher
who suffered a stroke at 75, before teaching the lesson -
e did get to teach, after the stroke (MIRACLE, aleluia):
"THE Christian God does not say: Come as U are ...
Or that "I, God, have unconditional love for all!" -
Not a popular messages, but biblical
I say by inference, Derek Chauvin is NOT a son of God,
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob-Israel!
David Pawson challenged us all
To find any verses in the Bible saying:
"Come as you are ... I accept all with unconditional love"
No a Covenant God has requirements ... to walk humbly, love mercy
(Read Isaiah and Micah, among others, or even John 3:16, "repent")
When U write about your pain,
Your losses, you want empathy
Why not my pain
when police again
Kill a Black Man mercilessly?
(Almost 9 minutes, cuffed, feet held by Officer Lane -
while Derek Chauvin - already "blacklisted as bad cop" -
Was given gun, badge, authority to kill again
"And in your name." And U prefer SILENCE?
why?
Not even Congress is silent about George Floyd
mostly PS
J . F . F (Justice For Floyd)
This man was murdered by a white police man's knee,
placed on his neck and the whole world could see
while he pleaded, and wasn't even resisting arrest
but was forcefully put to rest
after he kept saying "I can't breathe" many times.
And we watched helplessly gesturing, pantomimes!
This is unacceptable and disgusting,
annoying, irritating and infuriating.
I'm tired, tired of posting Rest In Peace
when we should all be living in bliss.
Government, no more excuses, no more silence.
This must definitely stop now!
Doesn't matter if the deceased is not from your town.
Justice will not be served if those who are unaffected
are not as outraged as those who are affected.
Let's stand-up for justice in solidarity & not scatter
cos black lives, as much as all lives, matter!
Dedicated to: George Floyd who was murdered by Minnesota police Derek Chauvin, on the scene of arrest in front of a store, Minnesota, United States.
