[ A ][° 248 °][ THE WAR ZONE … 3•24•2021 ]
[ Sometimes Life Feels Like A War Zone ]
[ Especially When You Are Left To Go Through It

Is There ]

I Wasn’t His ]
[ When The Subject Of Adoption Came Up ]
[ I Wasn’t Anywhere On His To-Do List ]
[ The Thought Was Just Not There ]
[ Not Anywhere ]
[ He Never Jumped For Joy ]
[ Because He Now Had A Boy ]
[ After Adopting Another Daughter ]
[ That Is All That He Wanted To Father ]
[ After That, He Wanted To Be Done ]
[ In His Deepest, Darkest Nightmares ]
[ He NEVER Wanted A Son ]
[ I Should Have Been For Warned In Advance ]
[ When It Came To Don Wanting Me In Their Family ]
[ I Never Had A Chance ]
[ No Matter How Hard I Tried, Don Treated Me Like
A Zero ]
[ So Since Day One I Never Looked @ Him As My Hero ]
[ He Wouldn’t Teach Or Coach ]
[ He Never Tried ]
[ So The Important Father – Son Connection Was
Just A Hoax ]
[ He Was Supposed To Have Skills On The Basketball
Court, But He Wouldn’t Show ]
[ When It Came Down To Teaching Me ]
[ He Was A Total No-Show ]

[ NINE MINUTES & 29 SECONDS … 4•2•2021 ]
[ 9:29 ]
[ Does Not Seems To Be Alot Of Time ]
[ For Someone To Sit In Their Room & Whine ]
[ Maybe To Possibly Walk A Mile? ]
[ Sweep A Large Section Of The Kitchen Tile ]
[ Something That Would Not Be Done Very Often ]
[ You Could Boil Three Different Servings Of
Top Ramen ]
[ 9 Minutes & 29 Seconds Seems Like Forever If
You Were Being Tortured ]
[ That Makes A Horrible Mental Picture ]
[ Police Officer Chauvin Had His Knee On George Floyd’s
Neck For That Long ]
[ Even Though Chauvin Knew That What He Was Doing
Was Wrong ]
[ This Is Not A Lie ]
[ It Took Floyd 9:29 Minutes To Die ]
[ The World Should Give A Big ( THANK YOU ) To The
Woman That Recorded The Horrible Video ]
[ If People Were Not Recording The Murder ]
[ America Would Most Likely Never Know ]
[ That Police Department Would Have Had The Whole
Incident, The Statements, & Any Evidence, Squashed Like
A Bug ]
[ Then With The Help Of All Of The Officers ]
[ Swept It Under The Rug ]
[ It Would Create A Big Lump ]
[ & It Would Leave Floyd’s Family Stumped ]
[ But They Did & It Was Horrible What That Video Said ]
[ It Took A Very Long 9:29 Minutes Of Chauvin Kneeling
On Floyd’s Neck ]
[ To Leave Him Laying There, Dead ]
[ Nobody Can Hold Their Breath For That Amount Of
Time ]
[ Nothing That Floyd Was Doing While He Was Laying
There Justified The Restraint Or The Technique ]
[ So Chauvin Must Have Known That He Was Committing
A Crime ]
[ If Someone Had 9:29 Minutes They Could Eat A Meal ]
[ During Any Part Of The 569 Seconds Could I Imagine How
George Would Feel ]
[ As Chauvin Knelt ]
[ He Had To Know How Bad Floyd Felt ]
[ Could He Tell That Chauvin Had Murderous Intentions? ]
[ Could He Make That Connection? ]
[ While Chauvin Was Kneeling, Couldn’t He Tell If Floyd
Wasn’t Breathing Anymore? ]
[ Through That Whole Confrontation ]
[ Chavin Showed The World That He Was Evil Clear To
His Core ]
[ & Of Course ]
[ Chauvin Knew That Was Using Deadly Force ]
[ He Must Have Known It Was ]
[ I Guess That Seems To Be What Chauvin Does ]
[ The Next Time That I Watched The Video I Noticed That
Chauvin’s Hands Were Completely In His Pockets ]
[ How Much More @ Ease Can Chauvin Get? ]
[ When A Man Puts His Hands In His Pockets, He Is
Relaxing ]
[ For Him, @ That Time There Was Nothing Taxing ]
[ Now Chauvin Finds Himself In Court ]

(260)▪︎[ The Hard Time With My Dad … 3•30•2021 ].
[ In Less Than 180 Minutes, I Need You To Be
By My Side ]
[ Because My Thoughts Are Making Me Write A Story
About The Night My Father Died ]
[ It Seemed Like I Had Not Lived With My Dad For Very Long ]
[ Was It About Two Weeks, Before Everything Went All Wrong ]
[ The Apartment Seemed Kind Of Small & The Furniture Was Sparse ]
[ I Guess Anything Was Better Than Living With My Mom ]
[ When Every Day Was Harsh ]
[ I Thought For A Young Child I Was Really Good @ Watching My Dad ]
[ One Constant That I Did Notice ]
[ Was That It Didn’t Take Much To Make Him Really Mad ]
[ He Wasn’t Used To Having 2 Young Children @ His Feet ]
[ He Didn’t Have Alot Of Food In The House ]
[ That 2 Kids Under 3 Could Eat ]
[ It Took Me Awhile To Be Able To Chew & Swallow ]
[ @ Least I Have Food ]
[ So My Belly Does Not Feel So Hollow ]
[ We Had Already Met His Girlfriend Twice ]
[ She Seemed Really Nice ]
[ They Would Go Out Drinking Almost Every Night ]
[ Our Babysitter Was Really Good @ Comforting Us
When They Would Come Home Drunk ]
[ & Continue To Fight ]
[ Then One Night They Came Home Fighting Until It
Got Really Late ]
[ Whatever They Were Yelling About ]
[ It Sounded Like There Was Alot Of Hate ]
[ The Amount That They Argue I Couldn’t Tell What
They Saw In Each Other ]
[ I Wondered If She Was Supposed To Replace My Mother? ]
[ The Yelling Continued For Hours ]
[ My Dad Was So Angry & Sweaty ]
[ That It Looked Like He Just Walked Out Of A Shower ]
[ This Happened Many Nights In A Row ]
[ Whatever Was Wrong ]
[ I Was Too Young To Know ]
[ Then My Dad Left The Room For A Minute Or Two ]
[ I Was Hoping That The Arguement Was Through ]
[ But My Dad Came Back ]
[ & He Looked Like He Was Ready To Attack ]
[ He Was So Angry ]
[ That Is Why I Didn’t See ]
[ The Gun Until It Was Up Against Her Temple ]
[ Who Knew That This Was Getting So Terrible ]
[ I Thought He Just Used It To Scare ]
[ & Then He Pulled The Trigger Right Then & There ]
[ All I Heard Was A ( CLICK! ) ]
[ My Stomach Was Getting Sick ]
[ My Dad Was More Than Frustrated ]
[ He Was Hotly Irritated ]
[ When He Put The Gun To His Own Head & Pulled The Trigger ]
[ Everything Was In Slow Motion ]
[ & Everything Got Bigger ]
[ The Noise Was Loud & Shocking ]
[ The Shock Stopped Me From Walking ]
[ My Dad Did Not Have A Phone Anywhere ]
[ His Girlfriend Ran Out The Front Door ]
[ Looking Very Scared ]
[ I Looked @ My Sister, Not Knowing What To Do ]
[ I Did Not Have A Clue ]
[ I Was Barely Older Than Two ]
[ I Just Stood There Watching My Dad Dieing On The Floor ]
[ I Wanted To Stop Crying ]
[ While Wondering If We Would See His Girlfriend Anymore ]
[ What Was Never Known ]
[ Is That His Girlfriend Ran & Used The Closest Pay Phone ]
[ To Call For Help ]
[ Her Selfless Act ]
[ Should Have Been Written About On Yelp ]
[ That Was The Last Time That I Saw My Dad Alive ]
[ From That Moment On ]
[ My Life Took A Long, Spiraling Dive ]

[ 264 ][ Chauvin’s Trial … 3•30•2021 ]
[ Right Now I Am Watching The Chauvin Murder Trial ]
[ I Don’t Think That I Should ]
[ But I Cannot Reach For The T.V. Dial ]
[ To Change The Channel & Watch Something Else ]
[ I Guess It Is Like Watching A Big, Slow Moving Train Wreck]
[ I Can’t Seem To Help Myself ]
[ To Keep Me From Doing What I Shouldn’t Be Doing
In Check ]
[ This Is Something That I Thought I Would Never
Watch ]
[ Because The Background About This Topic Is Still
Socially Hot! ]
[ In A Couple Of Seconds Of Time ]
[ My Thoughts Immediately Started Making Up Rhymes ]
[ That Is What Pushed Me Into This Direction ]
[ Of Writing A Story About This Incredibly Heinous
Crime ]
[ Yes, I Call It A Crime, Because It Was A Murder ]
[ What Chauvin Put Floyd Through That Day Was Nothing But Torture ]
[ This Was One Of The Most Disturbing Videos That I Had Ever Seen ]
[ & Chauvin Stayed Really Calm ]
[ While He Was Doing Something Really Mean ]
[ That Cop Chauvin Intentionally Murdered That Guy, George Floyd ]
[ Because For Almost 9 Minutes & 29 Seconds, He Was Kneeling On Floys’s Neck & Deltoids ]
[ I Have Watched Many Crime Shows & Movies In My Past ]
[ From What I Saw ]
[ Chauvin Made Sure That Floyd Would Not Die Very Fast ]
[ & Since I Watched The Video From The Start To The Finish ]
[ The Image In My Memory Of Floyd Dyìng, Will Last ]
[ It Wasn’t The Crowd Noise ]
[ That Drowned Out Floyd’s Voice ]
[ It Was Death, That Took His Voice Away ]
[ Never To Be Heard, On Another Day ]
[ When The EMT’s Finally Came ]
[ Chauvin’s Position Remained The Same ]
[ When Anybody Would Go Looking For Blame ]
[ For Floyd’s Death ]
[ Everyone Should Say, Chauvin’s Name ]
[ Chauvin Did Not Even Get Off Of Floyd’s Neck ]
[ So The EMT’s Could Quickly Make A Check ]
[ But The EMT That Walked Up To Chauvin, Did Not ]
[ Why Didn’t He Check For Floyd’s Pulse, Right There @ That Spot? ]
[ It Was Making My Stomach Sick ]
[ To Realize, That Was The Call That They Picked? ]
[ To Not Do Anything Quick? ]
[ An EMT Leisurely Walking Up To An Injured Person Did Not Make Any Sense ]
[ He Walked Into A Situation That Was Incredibly Tense ]
[ If Asked During The Trial ]
[ What The Hell Would Be His Defense? ]
[ There Was No Apprehension ]
[ But All Around The Crowd ] [ There Was A High Amount Of Tension ]
[ Whenever EMT’s Came To My Residence ]
[ They Moved Around With So Much Skill & Confidence ]
[ & Without Blinking ]
[ They All Had A Laser Focus Type Of Thinking ]
[ Why Didn’t They? ]
[ @ That Specific Time On That Specific Day? ]
[ It Was Like Before Their Arrival, The EMT’s Had Already Read ]
[ (DON’T BE IN A HURRY … ) ]
[ Because This Suspect, Was Already Dead ]
[ To Me, That Was Very Confusing ]
[ & The Whole Time That Chauvin Was Killing Floyd Under
His Knees ]
[ Chauvin Looked Like He Thought That The Whole Situation Was Very Amusing ]
[ When He Finally Stood Up, He Seemed Like He Was Happy & Pleased ]
[ The EMT WALKED Back To The Ambulance While His Partner Was Unloading The Gurney ]
[ Not A Single Cop Or EMT Seemed To Be In A Hurry ]
[ Why? ]
[ The Whole Crowd Watched George Floyd Die!! ]
[ Chauvin Only Got Up When The Guerney Was Brought There ]
[ Floyd Was Totally Limp When He Was Lifted Up ]
[ But NO Cops Or EMT’s Showed That They Cared ]
[ Not One Little Bit ]
[ That Seems Like That Is Some Seriously Calloused Shit! ]
[ When They Loaded Floyd On The Gurney, Not One EMT Checked For Any Sign Of Life ]
[ Why Not? ]
[ That Was Not Right ]
[ I Bet Every EMT Named Bill, Bob Or Mike ]
[ Has Had Alot Of Experience On Medical Calls ]
[ & They Know What A Dead Body Looks Like ]
[ They Loaded Floyd In The Truck & Stayed Parked With No Lights Going or Sirens Blaring ]
[ I Really Felt For George Floyd ]
[ While The Crowd Was Yelling & Staring ]
[ All Those EMT’s & Cops Showed America That They Were Not Very Worried Or Caring ]
[ I Can Slightly Understand The Black People’s Uproar ]
[ This Police Murder ]
[ Rocked Them To Their Core ]
[ I Really Fear That If Chauvin Is Not Found Guilty & Put Away Forever ]
[ City Police Departments Have Not The Slightest Idea What Some Black People Have In Store ]
[ The Riots & Fires Will Be Way Worse ]
[ & There Will Be So So Many More People Hurt!! ]
[ It Will Be Very Very Bad ]
[ Because Every Black Person Will Be So Many Levels Up, From Just Being Mad ]
[ They Will Not Want To Talk This Out! ]
[ They Will Do So Much More Than March & Shout! ]
[ Huge Fires? Deaths? Shootings? Property Damage? Shooting @ The Police? A Race War? ]
[ There Is Not Even The Tiniest, Slightest Bit Of Doubt ]

[ Is My Face To Fat? ]
[ Are My Legs Too Thin? ]
