Poem
We march for we are tired of the abuse We speak out for we are tired of being misused We march for we demand for our lives to matter We speak out for our lives to be valued like the American dollar You value your jobs and comfortable living with family you hold dear You should see we're just trying to live the same without being in fear You and I are one in the same just different colors of skin You look upon us as if coming to this land where we were once slaves now free is a sin 400 years we suffered at the hands of whips and chains 400 years we suffered being belittled and taken in vain 400 years we suffered loss due to this ongoing war that never ends 400 years needs to change and broaden the views of all for this message I send Is to say it's time to take a stand and unite for black lives matter Is to say we minorities are trying to live and provide for our family Is to say as we march along the streets through our anger and chatter We just want to walk alongside you hand and hand and be thought about daily Not as another mistake who deserves to die by the hands of injustice Not as another sin of God's creations that was a mistaken race But as people who are just trying to live and do what we can fighting for justice But as survivors who are trying to pave the way for a future generation among the surface And teach that the world isn't so bad for there are those who care And show that your beautiful inside and out as God's children none can take away And preach there will be those who still will view your skin weak to compare But always remember God is the one who rules over all and he has the final say And as his children he watches over his own and his love is powerful to unite the world if we take a stand
