A sonnet in dedication to the memory of George Floyd, whose tragic death is mourned by us all.
black, yellow, or red make no difference
in the racist threat against existence
that oppresses by might but is not right!
In numbers, unity explodes like night
afire with flames, like a deliverance
about to split apart Intolerance,
the racist's bark, and the vile bigot's bite.
It is right; and takes the appearance of
strong, marching Youth that reform the old view,
and shine a vision of a world suffused with love,
grace, justice, and rightness in hearts anew:
our tribes can live in peace and soar above
as One, when our colors become one hue.

In Remembrance of George Floyd
The strength of [our] color will prevail: white,black, yellow, or red make no difference
in the racist threat against existence
that oppresses by might but is not right!
In numbers, unity explodes like night
afire with flames, like a deliverance
about to split apart Intolerance,
the racist's bark, and the vile bigot's bite.
It is right; and takes the appearance of
strong, marching Youth that reform the old view,
and shine a vision of a world suffused with love,
grace, justice, and rightness in hearts anew:
our tribes can live in peace and soar above
as One, when our colors become one hue.
