Poems “Once Again”

Poems Reflect Anguish Over Killing of George Floyd

“Once Again” – A Poem for George Floyd By Gerald Lenoir Once again, a brother lies dead in the street Once again, he screams, “I can’t breathe” with no relief Once again, policemen stand idly by while Once again, a man in blue condemns a Black man to die.   Once again, Black lives really don’t matter Once again, a Black body is crushed and shattered Once again, Black lives are under attack Once again, a man dies because he’s Black.   Once again, we pray, we march, we dissent Once again, we rage, we cry, we vent Once again,
