All Lives Matter
All Lives Matter

How can All Lives Matter when your
are bombing kids in the Middle East?
How can All Lives Matter when you
are killing black people as you please?
How can All Lives Matter when you
are taking away gay people's rights?
How can All Lives Matters when trans
people still have to fight?
All Lives Mattered until you called
that Muslim woman a terrorist
All Lives Mattered until you lynched
that black man in your backyard sis
All Lives Mattered until you made fun
of slavery, genocide, the Holocaust
All Lives Mattered until you watched
that girl kill herself and have her dead
body be tossed
When you say All Lives Matter you mean
the whites ones mainly
You think your race is more superior but
we were all created equally
So next time when you say All Lives Matter
make sure you include everyone else
Because All means All not just you stop
thinking about yourself
