It's truly remarkable
That some in an advanced society
Holds onto the wickedness of a barbaric era
It's beyond the boundary of thought
To wake up in the morning
And watch a barbaric act of racism
Where one man's life is squeezed out
With the hammer of one's knee
In the name of race
Not even a care in the world
Hands in the pockets
A so called "policeman"
Caught in a horrendous act
Now the question is
What created such a monster?
Who gave him the audacity to kill?
Is it the badge of law that he holds?
Or a deep seated hatred
An uncontrolled urge to expunge a black man's life
It's in the mindset
A carelessly held believe
That a black man's life is worthless
Until and unless this mindset is set ablaze
And a new brand of consciousness is planted
Many will continue to kill in the name of race
Eight minutes and forty-six seconds
Will forever be engraved in our minds
To represent the mindset of cold blooded killer
I pray for humanity to come together
Under the envelope of common sense
And denounce this heinous act
Enough is enough
