Tears of Justice
The world shook with a tremble.
A video was broadcasted with such a visceral reaction.
Mothers wept, while children wept for their mother’s past and present.
We all rose to speak an unspoken.
Black lives matter.
Some protests turned into change.
Companies began to take their blinders off and diverse.
While conversations about race turned into much-needed dialogues.
Systemic racism was finally talked about after years of complacency.
Today, a guilty verdict was reached.
I cried tears of pain, happiness, and sorrow.
For almost a year we all held a breath and now we can finally exhale.
George Floyd, the world is now helping you breathe.
