George Floyd
Unmantled now, and broken, I
lie naked here,
Awaiting no more enmity
or spite, no fear
Of prejudice that would betray
this moment. Show
My life as something to be weighed
by those who know
What difference is, what justice seeks,
what must be done.
Show me to those who now will speak,
whose time has come.
