Indifference



One hundred thousand dead and one man killed
Floyd George, a black, was murdered by a cop
One hundred thousand human voices stilled
Cop Chauvin’s knee caused George’s voice to stop

It’s hard to mourn one hundred thousand lives
Or hug a half a million people grieving
Or vent your anger that this virus thrives
But at police for justice not receiving

We demonstrate in cities everywhere
Pent up emotions pouring to the streets
Some wearing face masks showing they’re aware
This virus is more potent than police

This epidemic favors killing blacks
As do police in many jurisdictions
We talk reforms but actions seem to lack
That citizens are equal is a fiction

A hundred thousand citizens plus one
Half perished due to Trump’s incompetence
And then Floyd George, unarmed, a docile man,
Was executed with indifference
