Notes About The Poem

Yes lives matter, so don’t monetize the meaning which should include the fact that ALL of our lives... matter!

Lives Matter

LIVES MATTER 

From then to now, 
Let it be told,
The ill regard for humanity,
mounting stories told.

But God forbid
that whatever be done,
will be done for this reason,
Power, money, control.


The Trail of Tears, 
The Holocaust 
Black Slavery and Persecutions
where countless lives have been lost

Mass abortions, mass murders
Racial prejudice and pride
Human trafficking, Corporate oppression 
between worker and boss

Political battles, divided nations,
Divided families now scattered
Making sure the vast obscurity    
that ALL lives is what matters
