After writing this blog post: http://www.linesbyleon.com/blog/a-drop-in-the-ocean, I wrote a poem as a follow-up.


Poem Artwork

So many people saying so many things

Some incite violence, most incite peace

Voices so quiet and voices so loud

Hard to discern through the madding crowd

Committing a crime doesn’t negate the crime

Better to be one to hold up a sign

So, what should I say?

Will my voice in the wind be carried away?

But if everyone else has the same notion

8 billion water drops can raise an ocean

That is the whole idea of petitioning the government. The more say it in unison, the more likely it will be heard.

Excellent poetic expression Leon! If all the energy that was spent on making Floyd who unfortunately got murdered into some kind of saint was instead used to help REFORM police brutality we would have a more perfect union. We need to SOLVE the problem, not make more problems and kill more innocent people! Truth and justice will prevail if we just FOCUS on a solution and not make more heartache and problems for our fellow citizens. Love is the answer. Period.
