He died May 25, 2020.

An awakening to racial disparities that have already been happening previously.

At a time like this when everyone was cooped in their houses, everyone joined together for this death which was ever so sickening. 

It was another black person to lose their life.

Yet again, to a cop but the man's name was George Floyd, who is commonly known for dying with a knee on His neck. 

His last minutes were taken from Him when the store clerk called the police. 

They arrived to the “ black subject,” with no conversation, and no questions asked. 

His brother, his sister, and his wife all witnessed the prejudice America we stay in today. 

How would you feel to be slammed to the ground, 

gasping for air,

tears in your eyes,

“I can’t breath,” “ I can’t breathe, please sir, I have a family.”

You’re rasping for your life, hoping he’ll adjust his knee.

People who are yelling at the cop,

“Get off Him, he can’t breathe!”

While some were screaming, others were silent. 

The other police standing there, failing to do their assignment. 

He slowly stops moving, that was it, no more cries, no more pain, just a slowed heart that struggled through pain. 

An innocent man was now murdered.

But his death didn’t go unrecognized.

Millions across the world came together to originally protest.

It started out civilized. 

It wasn’t until it seemed like the cops wouldn’t be charged guilty which resulted in total chaos.

With joined forces of every race getting together to show the world this is not okay,

George Floyd’s family was uneased because the verdict seemed to take about a decade.

It wasn’t until black lives matter became a trend and no longer a petition that buildings began to burn.

People everywhere…

got tear gassed,

shot, 

strangled,

struggling to fight for a single man’s life that never should’ve been taken.

April 20, 2021 is the day.

His family can finally gain some form of relief.

This was the day of peace.

There’s no such thing as a blue lives matter.

You can choose that career,

but George Floyd did not choose to be black, in result he died in fear.

His death will be long lived in justice in hope for later change. 

I will always believe that murder was intentional and his life could’ve been saved.
