“Momma Momma”
​​
By Gerda Govine

  I listened to the last words spoken by George Floyd and had to write something to ease the pain and heartbreak I feel like so many others.

We
kneel to pray
kneel to protest
kneel to profess love
keel to tie child’s shoe
kneel to show respect
Police officer Pressed knee on neck
new weapon of choice  
George Floyd: I can’t breathe
Police officer not publically identified
Get up and get in the car
What do you want 
George Floyd: I can’t breathe I will I can’t move
Momma Momma
Police officer: Resisting arrest you can’t win 
Witnesses yell
His nose is bleeding
He’s not resisting arrest
How long you going to hold him down 
Now you have a baton
