George Floyd

Constable Derek, Thao, and Lane,

killed George Floyd and with no shame.

When the protesters came out of the gray,

Constable Derek had the final blame.

 

Protesters, Black with white,

missed George Floyd and put up a fight.

When the troopers came out it was no game,

all they did was hiss in his Haim!

 

*Haim is a Hebrew name that makes “life”.
