Were you there
When the eyes of the world seemed to care
When people of all creeds caught a glimpse
And we heard those agonizing words from his lips
I Can't Breathe
Were you in disbelief, staring at your screen
Did your humanity rise up, holla' Did it scream
Enough
In that summer of soul was your voice heard
Did you take action, write a letter, say a gawddamn word
When the streets were alive with protest, and statues of hate were destroyed
When the Pandemic raged and hard working folk were suddenly unemployed
When corporations falsely claimed they would do their part
And a fascist leader, of privilege, lead with a hateful heart
When people of goodwill united and justice was in the air
Do you remember, my friend,
Were you there
