What shows
how little
we know?
What can be is
oft far less than
what we expect.
What is now
has never been
what it was.

George Floyd.
If you don’t know the name, you are not paying attention.
If you are not outraged you are not paying attention.
If you can’t feel the pain, you are not human.
If you don’t see the injustice, you have no hope.
I thought things were changing, but I can see how little they have.
Racism continues to go unchecked, but it is not unnoticed.
It is very black and white.
I’m sickened.
I am sorry.
I can’t say I am speechless, but I cannot find the words.
This was not in my country, but it is my world.
