On This Day Saturday,12: 05 Poem by sydney conteh

On this day
Saturday,12: 05
Derek Chauvin was sentenced
To 22.5 years in prison
This is a flood gate being opened
Justice being set free
To act in the way it should be

Today is a landmark
A warning
An "I have a dream" moment
A no more " why my child"
Sprouted by bereaved parent s

Today at 12: 05
History is made
People are shouting
Now world
Are you listening
Change will happen
That's not a choice
