As an African American woman, I am grieved and outraged by the merciless and evil murder of George Floyd. Out of my emotional anguish, I wrote a poem to God. I wrote this poem from the feelings in my flesh, and God responded back and answered me in His Spirit and Sovereignty. Read the poem below.
My cry and complaint to God
How many black lives gotta die
How many more tears do we have to cry
How much more can our hearts take
How many more heartbreaks
How many more times will they cry out, I can't breathe
How many black parents gotta grieve
How many more marches and protests do we gotta do
How many more times will we be told by our local, state, and federal law enforcement officials we won't help you
How many speeches do we gotta say
How many more prayers do we gotta pray
How many more times will we be told time to calm down
How many more times will we fight for justice but justice not be found
How many more videos do we gotta see of black lives being taken before our eyes
How much longer do we have to put up with the cover up and lies
How many more black women, how many more black men
How many more cases will the racist white cops cases win
How many more times will they tell us they were threatened for the their life
How much more will the justice system get way with their deliberate division and strife
How much longer will being black be a crime
Tell me Lord, how much more time?
Do you not see, do not care
When they kills are you there
Lord, please answer me
