Background
I watched Deion Sanders interview on 60 Minutes.
In the interview, Deion was asked why he decided to opt out of retirement to go coach.
He said his calling was sprung from the George Floyd Passing.

Beloved
Beloved, this man fesses and said someone else passing got him to treasure life more than he was.
He reordered his life.
He reordered his children’s lives.
Others chose to Increase.
Increase the Hurt.
Others chose to justify the loss of life.
Add to their own voice.
What increased in you?
Yet, more importantly, what decreased in you?
How did you honor someone else’s losing their life.
Losing their Voice.
One day your voice will cease, as well.
There is no redress.
