Twilight

Do all lives matter? Yeah When you talk about blacks That is when it becomes extra-sensitive Because all these years people and especially the law have certain disdain for black lives They don't think that they are worth enough good enough And try as they might They never can get ahead There is always some discrimination Certain perception That they are out to get someone Are they? Before we judge Let's look at our own person Are we good enough? Worthy enough? We can never judge anyone, except ourselves And before we turn the mirror to someone It may be turned to ours Take a good look at yourself Do you want others to judge you based on your appearance, age, or whatever? Then why are you judging them? A friend of mine told me She got all scared when she was in a Hispanic neighborhood I asked her "why were you scared?" She said "I was the only minority there" She couldn't be any whiter to stand out So you see People get scared for a variety of reasons But don't let your reason clouds your judgement Right is right And wrong is wrong You don't get to be put on this earth to hurt someone It's the opposite Let the devil do that Unless you want to be like them And at that point I think He can arrange that Are we still on the same subject?
