Say His Name

A BLACK MAN ABANDONED ME,

SO I SHUT DOWN THE IDEA OF THE BLACK MAN.

DENIED MY BLACK CULTURE + PUT MY HEAD IN THE SAND.

BUT I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND,

THAT IN EACH GENERATION,

THE DEGREDATION,

THE DAMNATION,

DOESN’T STOP; IT DOESN’T END.

SO WHY DO WE PRETEND?

THAT THE U.S OF A IS THE LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE,

WHEN ANOTHER BLACK LIFE LAYS IN A GRAVE?

I KNOW I CAN’T BARE TO SEE

ANOTHER SENSELESS R I P.

THE SADNESS

THE FEAR

THE RAGE

LET IT START A FIRE; AND USE THAT FLAME

TO NEVER QUIT SAYING HIS NAME.

REST IN PARADISE GEORGE FLOYD
