Adieu George Floyd

Features

You have born silently, privately

As an unknown

You have gone loudly , publicly

As a very well known

You have shown something Bad

Happening around the world

You have borne the greatest pain

Which was unbearable with lot of strain

You have asked for nothing

but want to breathe

They have done nothing

Except grabbing you by keeping underneath

This is not the first neither the last

That is due to ignorance of science, it goes fast

Where melanin does not dilute equally

There they forget how to behave peacefully

Either colour, race, gender or poverty

Further many odd factors add to make a fake novelty

Being a slave of own may not be able to understand the reality

Seeing inside with the wisdom of eye if ,

Knowing same blood and bones may not fight for inequality

Whatever happens, things may not change in future

Whoever comes to power may not

Demolish this averse nature

Comparison brings unwanted issues

Not only the white even Black life matters

So, George, Good bye not only to you

Racism, apartheid, poor thinking, ill treating, comparing with arrogance too

May this world be filled with humans with more humanity, love and peace

May your soul, be prayed by the whole world to Rest In Peace.
