“I cant’ breathe” said George Floyd
I can’t breathe said the man, his neck beneath a knee
deaf ears from witness officials
who have the motto “to serve and protect”
while their unnecessary violence and indifference was prejudicial
and cost an innocent life…
We feel for you the victims,
the families, brothers and sisters
we are with you in your sorrow, anger, and ongoing strife
Claiming for your equal rights
Don’t take your anger to loot and destroy,
Rise above in your protest
This brother’s life was not the first
But let us hope this is the LAST!
Justice must holdfast
The time has come for us to unite
As one Human RACE,
Mother earth is our birthplace
Let us all equality embrace!
Let’s begin with justice
To start the healing process
After hundreds of years of oppression
Let us end the cycle of aggression
And all racial or other types of discrimination
Let us learn once and for all the lesson…
And stop the violence, injustice, and transgressions
Of our brothers and our planet… and respect ALL life,
the true gift from the Divine!
Let us unite rather than divide
Respect rather than destroy
Work together in strides
for a world of peace for all to enjoy.
Let us start with the children, and the young
To learn new values, and to embrace
The concept of a multicolored “human race”,
No colors or distinctions except to celebrate
Each individual uniqueness,
Each a mosaic for humanity’s completeness.
May never again
Be tears, suffering and loss of innocent lives be in vain,
Let us awake to the injustices, let the light shine in
Let us all clearly SEE,
And each of us, take responsibility
For our actions, thoughts and words, to eradicate hostility
Prejudice, inequality, violence, injustice,
And let us be the change we want to see
Practicing love, kindness, compassion and peace!
Amira
“No puedo respirar”, dijo George Floyd
No puedo respirar dijo el hombre,
su cuello debajo de una rodilla
oídos sordos de testigos oficiales
quienes tienen el lema “servir y proteger”
mientras que su innecesaria violencia e indiferencia era perjudicial
y costó una vida inocente …
Sentimos por ustedes las víctimas,
las familias, hermanos y hermanas
estamos con ustedes en su dolor, ira y contienda continua
Reclamando por sus derechos de igualdad
No tomen su ira para saquear y destruir,
Levántense por arriba en su protesta
La vida de este hermano no fue la primera.
¡Pero esperemos que esta sea la ÚLTIMA!
La justicia debe mantenerse firme
Ha llegado el momento de unirnos
Como una sola raza humana,
La madre tierra es nuestro lugar de nacimiento.
¡Aceptemos para todos la igualdad!
Comencemos con la justicia
Para iniciar el proceso de sanación.
Después de cientos de años de opresión
Pongamos fin al ciclo de agresión
Y todos los tipos de discriminación
racial o de otro tipo.
Aprendamos de una vez por todas la lección
Y detengamos la violencia, la injusticia y las transgresiones.
De nuestros hermanos y nuestro planeta … y respetemos TODA la vida,
¡El verdadero regalo de lo Divino!
Unámonos en lugar de dividirnos
Respetemos en lugar de destruir
Trabajemos juntos con pasos
para un mundo de paz para que todos disfruten.
Comencemos con los niños y los jóvenes.
Que aprendan nuevos valores y accepten
El concepto de una “raza humana” multicolor.
Sin colores ni distinciones excepto para celebrar
Cada singularidad individual,
Cada uno un mosaico para la integridad de la humanidad.
Que nunca más
las lágrimas, el sufrimiento y la pérdida de vidas inocentes sean en vano,
Despertémonos a las injusticias, dejemos que la luz brille
Veamos todos claramente
Y cada uno de nosotros, asuma la responsabilidad
Por nuestras acciones, pensamientos y palabras, para erradicar la hostilidad.
Prejuicio, violencia, injusticia y desigualdad,
Y seamos el cambio que queremos ver
¡Practicando el amor, la bondad, la compasión y la paz!
Amira

Bless you Amira for bringing forth such wonderful, heartfelt words of truth. ❤ ❤ ❤
At this time so much darkness is coming up for our healing Light and we are being given a chance to make a united change.
I feel that from a HIGHER PERSPECTIVE it is very significant that – the way this was actually filmed, his words of not being able to breath being so poignant at this moment of time, the video shown worldwide for us all to see – speaks to me of George Floyd being a beautiful Soul who chose to take this path of giving his life for the Higher Good of humanity, so this deeply entrenched persecution of race can no longer be ignored. – Blessings of Love, Honour, Peace and Gratitude to George.
As your poem speaks so well, it is time for us all to unite and heal ALL discrimination. Race has always been one that the elite have so easily manipulated to divide humanity. A divided people are easier to control and are so busy with each others stance that they fail to notice the manipulation. Also, anger, looting, revenge etc.. are old energies that have been programmed into minds to keep perpetuating discord.
The Great Awakening happening now is Uniting our world and bringing forth our New Earth of ‘love, kindness, compassion and peace!’ And George Floyd will live on in our hearts.
Thank you Amira for your eloquence ❤ ❤ ❤

Thank you so much Trina for your comment and insight into this situation. I was like everyone else, very disturbed watching that video, but thankfully the video was made, so that no further evidence or words are needed… it’s all there for our eyes to see… A 2020 year for all humanity to clearly see all that needs to be seen, all our errors, and all that needs to be healed… I also felt he sacrificed himself as you said, so that his life would not be in vain, to lift humanity from the slumber of contempt and superficiality. Let’s hope we all wake up to justice, equality, and respect for one another and for our home “mother earth” who is also facing another extinction… every 20 minutes one more animal species is disappearing forever… while we remain indifferent…
Sending you much love and light and a big hug! ❤ ❤ ❤

At this crucial time, these words are so inspiring and profound, Amira. We all have to work towards Unity and Oneness and selfishness that is so rampant has to go in order for the humanity to be selfless.

It sickening to say the least that this has been ongoing for generations, I guess the good thing to come from George Floyd’s death is that it’s now waking up an ignorant world. Thank you for sharing – please feel free to read my latest post too, and let me know what you think.

I have read your blog and it was a heartbreaking incident of the many happening in our world… and you are so right, only a few of them are “seen” in the headlines… in the case of George Floyd, I think it was the video which was filmed, because nobody can now deny the evidence of a video, where no further words are needed and all eyes could see what really happened. Because the media and all sources of information are suppressed and manipulated, and we really know very little about what is truly going on in the world, even though we believe we are in the “age of information” . Thank you for your comment and for your blog to raise the awareness! ❤
