Under the watch of the sky,
In the broad day light.
Under the watch of another fiend,
In the open day city street.

He was callously massacred.
His breathes smothered away.
Jettisoned his asphyxia and plead,
His life was snuffed in pathway.

Heads drooped in sadness,
My heart bled in despair,
Of the evil perpetrated by cops.
The law is derelict and vilified.

White supremacy, openly exhibited,
Race and power against the weak.
Black triviality, openly replayed,
Under the watch of the sky.

Slaughtered like cattle in a ranch,
Crisis grips the whole humanity.
Rated and rewarded to hunt and slain,
Racial discrimination on gallery.

“I can’t breathe”, We can’t breathe,
We are all murdered, overtly slayed,
A kill of one, is a kill of all.
Under the watch of the sky.

(On the death of George Floyd,
Minneapolis, May 25, 2020)
