The killing's gotta stop

Concern.

The killing's gotta stop

 

 

 

We are one people and this is one earth.

If we stand together as one people.

500,000 people standing for the cause of human rights.

We can save our world.

We live in a messy world,

government separated children from parent in California,

children locked-up, alone and forgotten.

Our government is color blind,

the poor have been forgotten. A rich man world, has been for a long time.

The government wanted the Sioux nation land,

had soldiers ready to erase another great tribe.

Few stood with them.

A poor man killed in Minnesota,

George Floyd,

he is in my prayers and I pray.

The people stop the riots,

destroying your cities is foolish.

Where do you live and buy things?

The businesses being ransacked are just common people owned,

people of all color trying to survive.

We live in a messy world,

we must stand as one for our world.

A burn-down world, a hateful world.

Would be nightmare for all.

We need to follow the way of Martin Luther King Jr.

Stand as one in the streets and demand human rights,

safety for all and all people, can live without threats.

Thank you for reading.

Black men murder more black men in Detroit alone in one year, then all the police departments in America have killed black men in the last twenty years combined. "We live in a messy world" indeed, but also a conflicted one. We Americans have normalized murder. I mean, if you don't brandish a gun in a cop show, then where's the intrigue? Who is the protagonist? And since the plot line cant be blind, there has to be a constant inference to human destruction (aside from dialogue) just to hold the audiences attention. This is heavy hitting poetry my friend advocation revolutionary reform. And prayer, given what has already taken place, should be considered as revolutionary reform......well done...dana

I lost one brother to the police department in Detroit in 1989. Women, hate of color and culture is alive and well. Stopping racism, protecting human rights and ensuring equality is never-ending. If we forget to protect the rights of all people. We all shall fall. Hello my friend. George Floyd brother spoke today. He asked for the violence to stop. He said his brother loved his city and the people. He asked for peace and he asked for justice.

Well said, Coyote. Too much tragedy in the world.
