Song Lyrics
When the World Watched
Introduction On May 25, 2020, a single tragic event in Minneapolis, Minnesota, captured the attention of not just Americans, but the whole world. George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, was killed during an arrest by police officer Derek Chauvin, who knelt on his neck for over nine minutes. This moment, caught on video, became more than another headline—it became a catalyst, a spark that ignited global reckoning on systemic racism, police brutality, and justice. In the years since, the George Floyd case has remained central to conversations about race, law enforcement, America’s history—and its future.

Valley of Echoes. Content Warning.
I woke from velvet dreams to the sound of groceries arriving tiny gluten-free lasagna in hand, archive humming. Today’s post is a ceremonial suite: elders standing in witness, a Bohemian at the corporate threshold, and a barefoot Composer walking the cracked score toward the tribunal’s shadow. Each image is verse. Each caption has a spell.
