Trending Change

Inflicted is this society
Of depicted truths to matter 
Does it matter
When every life doesn't matter to the same accord

Accordingly, slavery was abolished 
To what effect when our minds are currently enslaved
When the only awakening comes from the mourn of graves 

Theres so much to be saved, this is known
Every life does matter
Yet the matter has no volume to skin tone

When the only way is the only way
To band together
Ensuring the importance never fades
In creating the trending phase
Of change 

Important Phrase!
Black Lives do matter
Our skin far from white 
So the minority as a whole must also lather
The will to stand up for this pigmented matter

Black, White, Hispanic 
What ever you may be
We are all created in light of a womb
To the luck of a swim up stream 
In similarity of the blood we bleed
N the placenta we once did feed

Linked in red  
The blood shed of our being
