George Floyd, I have seen you

 

“George Floyd,

 

I have seen you

While crushing you on pavement

 

I have seen you

While he is crushing your throat

 

I have seen you

While they are cooperating to kill you

 

I have seen you

While he is releasing his venom

While taking your life

 

I have seen you

While you are looking for help

 

I have heard your last words

"I can’t breathe."

That changed the world

 

I have seen you

While he is killing you

 

I have seen your condition in America

While I have seen my fellow untouchables

Conditions in India

 

I have seen you…

You and I are not different, my brother.”
