One and All
Take to the knee the cry went out
the rightous heard the cry
lift your fist to the sky
and the hands rose up
and then the politians spoke there platitudes
knowing that they would be broke
does it matter yes it does
as all lives matter one and all
but those that matter
them in charge
say black lives matter less than most
the colour of your skin should not define
if you committed any crime
and should never mean its your time to die.
take to the knee one and all
but raise your voice and speak
