Raw
You wouldn’t know we’re in COVID-19
News programs air continuous coverage of
Protests
The whole country watched a man beg for breath
Beg for life
Murder
Huge crowds together in COVID-19
Solidarity
I count four days, I think
Night after night, day after day, throughout the country
Crowds
Destruction, fires, white supremacists
Pollution of peaceful prophetic voices
Huge voices
The crowds, unemployment, economic disparity
Injustice
400 years
In the midst of a movement
In COVID-19
Words fail
Riots
More words called out, called for
Repentance
Reform
Regeneration
Peace
No peace, no justice
