Seethe
by Megan Bonley
Six million years of evolution, You’d think equality would be found. With multiple attempts at revolution, Injustice is all around. Humans grow, learn and multiply, But mistakes - they stay the same. How many black people have to die? No life is just a game. 1993 – Stephen Lawrence died, Police ignorance was obscene. Tears filled the community’s eyes, White youths as killing machines. Breonna Taylor shot in her home, In the ‘safety’ of her bed. The guilty police continue to roam, ‘Just’ another black person dead. George Floyd was forced to the floor, Pleading he could not breathe. Yet Derek Chauvin still gave him more, ...and the world began to seethe. Six million years where black lives have mattered, Yet the movement still needs to exist. White supremacy must be shattered, For no soul should have to resist.
