This murder happened on 25th of May
When four policemen throttled poor George Floyd
This blue summer’s day suddenly clouded grey
I do not want those men trapped in a cell
I want their hearts humbled and their heads bowed low
To serve Floyd’s family till most is well
The victims’ necessities might well be fed
Once the policemen heal their hurt feelings
They may even stop smashing innocent heads
I saw stories fill paper sheets and screens
Though Floyd's family may rather seek silence
Media salaciously spill the beans (as usual)
I learnt that society is a contract
Which is only as weighty as our ways
We must all preach AND act to preserve our pact
If police want their integrities intact
They should adhere to our pact and contract
To truly ignite inspiring impact
I will try to act NOT with terror but tact
