Why Would They Do It

The year 2020 was not a walk in the park
A number of chapters to be added to history books,
But something that spoke out to me that year
The Black Lives Matter movement,
Started because of all those crooks.
I was an 11-year-old girl
Disgusted by these people,
Who showed discrimination just because of the color of skin
Who looked as if heartless
As if they had a fire to express cruelty within
The George Floyd Case
Was truly heart shattering,
Why is the question asked
Why indeed would a person act like so,
Why did the people who are supposed to keep us safe
Decide to put on such a show?
The 11 year old girl felt sorry
Sorry for the family and friends of this poor soul,
Who did nothing wrong but was still punished
Just to add entertainment to some cruel person’s daily stroll.
The Black Lives Matter movement unfortunately became necessary
To make sure such a horrendous history does not repeat itself,
To protect people’s lives and families
To teach the right values.
There is enough cruelty existing in this world already
And no call for more bad news.
Justice for George Floyd is still pending
And I hope we will get it,
The support needs to be shown
To end such discrimination.
To wipe it away
From each and every nation.
Again the question arises
As to why would they do it,
The 11 year old girl failed to understand the motive
The 14 year old girl continues to not understand even the tiniest bit.
