may your pain be my pain

may your pain be my #pain
your grief my grief
may I not be complacent
may I not be complicit
may your #anger be my anger
at the injustice, brutality
for more than 400 years
since the first slave was captured
dragged from their home in Africa
down to the present day

George Floyd
