Poem
Black lives matter is a statement of love not a statement of hate So please erase the confusion from your face I wish they could hear but they're to busy spraying mace in my face They keep yelling, Nigga's who needs them, nigga please, black boy black girl you don't belong And Today I read murder niggas on a wall Someone tried to spray paint over it, but the hate was still legible They try to sweep racism under the rug, but the people living in that house still keep the hate at their side at all times Taking lives at all times, so much so it has become a full time job, and they love overtime Humans are not animals but sometimes I wish black people had 9 lives like a cat Then maybe one of those we could live out who we were meant to be Or maybe we could be a dog, you heard the cops call us treats, right? At least if a dog dies they treat them right as if they have rights Justice where has it gone, people will say it's just the times But now it's 2020 and Justice is more like just them all the time, it's not fair, it's not right, it's not love And to everyone who gets hurt standing up for the air being sucked out of our bodies continue to stay ten toes down Because we is a selfish term in America Freedom is a selective term in America The grey line takes up most of the space in America Right is looked at as wrong in America And some still choose to ignore the true colors of America Red is my blood stolen, from the boys in blue, that sadly can be defined as a white American Most of the time The red should really symbolize the fire raging from this hell on Earth, that makes the world blue Well some of us White culture eating white cake, from a slaves recipes Wanting to experience different things, wanting to participate in our lifestyle, stealing traditions Without the ritualistic red dot constantly pointed at their back But when a black person wants more for themselves they have to start with a wall against their back While carrying the cross their ancestors hung from All while trying to make change Positive change should not be this hard but the world is so negative Awareness and action is the key But there are many doors to unlock until Justice can start to have the appearance of a just world p.s. I'm still praying...
