I'm absolutely terrified
Of what this jury will decide
And then of what will happen next.
A few decisive lines of text
About how George Floyd lived and died
Now written down but not yet eyed
We'll have an impact so direct
I tremble with it. Even I
Though neither black nor Minnesotan
Can feel the history congeal.
This kind of day we know we try
The systems that the people vote in
If they can judge what's truly real.
