GEORGE FLOYD'S LEGACY

by Crowfeather


George Floyd by Sam Dunn


One life ended
by an unyielding knee
and ice-bound hearts.

One man’s private death,
ghastly and obscene,
stunning millions.

Not just another death,
but maybe a catalyst
for change.


Crowfeather is a 72-year-old woman who writes and tells stories in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
