Can't be silent

in , , , , ,

(for George Floyd and others)

 

Well I can’t keep silent anymore

I’ve got to say my peace

else it’s just going to make me sick

I have to say I love you

and I can’t see you being hurt anymore

 

Stop hurting my friend, can’t you see

he’s innocent.

Why do you stomp him down

with your fear?

 

He’s just trying to breathe,

needing to live like the rest of us

we need to live together,

why can’t you let him live?

 

Why do you choose to choke the life out of him?

Stop, don’t shoot, don’t hate, just breathe and think.

 

Choose love, choose peace and choose kindness

don’t be silent, stop this madness.
