May 25 Heal Me
It is a prayer, May 25 heal, George Floyd you are on my mind, I see you as a martyr, In you a Black collective is at the crossroads, Asia, Europe and Africa meet around you, A revolution rose from your prone body, No more lies about who suffers, Your life clarified the expectation, To which a Black life, Was held by many, Your death gauged our measure of sanctity to life, I cried, I was sorrowful, No more again, Shall we treat, Any human with indignity. May 25 heal all of us, We are equally guilty, But collectively, We are healers, to each other.
