Description
Two plywood boards at a three day outdoor art festival on Payne Ave, St. Paul on Oct 1, 2020. The mural on the left includes a rainbow background with the Minneapolis skyline painted on top. In white letters from top to bottom covering the entire board is this poem:
Not the first murder nor the last
Storms that never seem to pass.
Taste of blood in my mouth as I
Breathe my last.
As I breathe AT last.
Rain pours from the sky to console
Those who can’t breathe from the
Smoke.
With tear gas in their throats
& Fire in their eyes.
Rain drops streak across the surface of their face, not to put
Out the fire in their eyes
But to disguise their tears.
As if almost to mean, Don’t
Let them see your tears but
Show them the depths of Hell
In your eyes!
The hell of countless crimes!
The hell of being tired countless
Times!
The hell that will result in their
Demise!
Black Lives Matter.
The board to the right has an unpainted background, but "Justice 4 George Floyd <3" (heart symbol) is painted in green and red letters.
