(This is the third poem accepted for publication by The Mindful Word after some suggested revisions.)
In this time of pandemic,
The protest and violence
is a further accounting
of the terrible legacy of slavery.
I support Black Lives Matter
And I fear America is unravelling.
Can we defund the police when
Crime and violence are on the rise?
Is the murder of George Floyd
A product of our compromise?
We don’t choose the time;
There is no guarantee.
We must move forward
Without certainty.

Love this Harry! Our country’s history of slavery is deep and probably will never be resolved. Working with you on a complete overhaul of our society. Congrats on being recognized by The Mindful Word. Will look into that.
