this is not what i signed up for
this is not the way it should be
this is not what i voted for
injustice from
those who know justice
maybe they dont
but george
is an awful lot like me
human and divine like you, Lord
i wanted a nation of free peoples
but look at where we are
see what we have become
the spider spread its web over the area
waiting to cull
catching the biggest prey
reminds me of Jesus
pharisees rigging the jury
the ones who decide the fate
this is not to see
this is not to be
my eyes
this time 4 officers
for Jesus
a crowd
each of us with sins to hide
an officer with too much force against blacks
a black who has seen that force
the one who knew the spider’s heart
and could offer the best testimony
against the spider
what IS truth
“it is as you have said”
“i can”t breathe”
innocent of requiring death
not denying power
the power to save or destroy
killed for the fear of enclosed spaces
an officer unable to de-escalate
please, sir, i cant breathe
the gloating over the prey
parading around on display
for all to see
the crown of thorns
mocking
who will save you now
George, the one slain
is a little bit like me
i could interact with authority
