REMEMBERING GEORGE FLOYD by Fiona Goodwin

Is there a poem in me today?
Is there anything that I can add to the conversation that would be of value?
Yesterday I saw protesters who were not looting
I saw looters who were not protesting
But all of the anger is justified.
If I saw my father, my brother my husband
Knelt on till he expires
I think I might feel that I ought to light a few fires…
Then if you multiply that by the thousands and years
I think that’s called an inferno
Covid is getting the truth
Out of all of us.
