Urban Saint


This poem is dedicated to the memory of

George Floyd

October 14, 1973 - May 25, 2020

 

Urban Saint

Slay the dragon of racism,

Bring the hatred to the ground,

Never let it destroy our people,

Never let it take us down.

Bring us hope and resurrection,

Pain and anger everywhere,

Never let it bring despair,

Sow the seeds of rejuvenation,

Sow the seeds of LOVE,

Slay the dragon,

Bring us hope,

You’re the Saint

Now,

You’re our

HOPE.
