Peacefully at 3PM
From the U.S. Embassy
To Parliament Hill
In solidarity with those
South of the border
In memory of
George Floyd
And all the other Floyds
Who came before him
With one uniting message
It has to stop

Today they march

In defiance of Corona
And the government
Hesitant to stop them
They march
Not to be treated
Like children anymore
They march
The flood of emotion
Determination so strong
Around the world
Across the country
They march
Here in Ottawa too
Shoulder to shoulder
For the first time in months
Mayor Watson
At their side

Today they march
