by Frank ElkinsMay 28, 2020 Tick TockGoes the clock…As George Floyddies live on TV. A knee driven deepInto the back of his neck –Suffocating under the colorof authority.Pressed hard into theunforgiving asphalt –Gasping his last breathsfor all the world to see… “Please, officer, I can’t breathe,Please, officer, you’re killing me –Help me Mama – Help me, please…” Minute by minute,second by second,for what seemed like an eternity –His life was slowly taken away.Despite his pleas for the American Justice –That was denied to him in every way. Pay attention America,George Floyd is you and I –When his inalienable rights are trampled,The Promise for all of America dies. Injustice cannot forevercontinually be denied –Equal justice under the lawmust finally become realized. Wake up America!Embrace the idealsyou so often flout – Tick Tock America,time is quickly running out.
