Ron Faust, a former Disciples of Christ minister, wrote this poem May 31 on the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis by police May 25. Faust’s poem begins:
It was so visible, so wrong/In contrast to the death snarl/Of an invisible pandemic attack
When an officer pressed the wind pipe/Of George Floyd to his death
Even after he pleaded, “I can’t breathe”/Which took the whole world’s breath away
