Best Black Lives Matter Poems

You say all lives matter
Bringing up all these colors 
Like red, white, orange, and blue
But when a black life is taken, where on Earth are you?
Where's your sympathy and support when the takers of our lives get off Scott-free in court?
Why weren't you at the...

Black Lives Matter  

They gave me a college education
But left me unemployed
But they say
Black lives matter
I won 7 Grammy awards
I didn't get a ceremony to recognize my work 
But they say
Black lives matter
I have Foodstamps
But no refrigerator to store the food in
Or pots and...

We march for we are tired of the abuse
We speak out for we are tired of being misused
We march for we demand for our lives to matter
We speak out for our lives to be valued like the American dollar
You value your jobs and comfortable living...

Blood was shed so we could be free
Little value was placed on us before that
Again and again we were shackled, beaten and killed
Ceaselessly undermined and our lives underscored killed for wanting to be free
Killed for wanting to be free from our oppressors and there oppression.

I Hear This Time AND Time Again
When Will THE Killing END

OWN Color
Giving Power TO Hate

While it eats its young 
Especially our young black men
ITS Starts...

They say that black lives matter, Dad,
But I’m not black , I’m white,
Their lives don’t matter more than mine,
That surely can’t be right?
I think it needs explaining, son,
So you can understand,
This cause is about fairness,
And not an unjust demand.
We didn’t suffer bigotry,
Or racism in waves,
We’re...

A gloomy song unfolds
Amid the chants for rights
Yet freedom wasn’t handed
Like centuries before .

Generations has emerged
And slavery has long been abolished
Left behind the scenes ?
Is it now a Modernised suppression ?

Same old routine that circles through many areas
Of our everyday life.
Relentless shaming and racial profiling...

The streets are set on fire, black lives matter,
and things are looking dire; black lives matter.

Through assistive force and senseless killings,
police have raised black ire; black lives matter.

In their riot gear, cops attack the crowds,
and batons spark gunfire; black lives matter.

Blacks and whites marching for...

I don’t look black; I don’t look white;
ain’t that strange how DNA lies?
I am a mixed woman raised by two families;
two different worlds with two different realities.
Like tug-o-war, I’m the rope in the middle 
and my arms are hurting, everybody please let go.

To the sidelines,...

Beaten down for centuries
Splattered in newsprint for all to see

It has been that way ever since
they came from Africa on hollowed ships

Enslaved, raped, hanged, broken
Traded for sins unspoken

Successful towns burned to the ground
Wiped from the maps never to be found

Protestors marched as sons and daughters...

The History of Black People,
And all of our People should be celebrated
Year-round: every day, week, month, and decade.
The celebration should go on unabated,
All the time. The first couple,
Ever existed, had dark skin, said
Many credible historians,
Archeologists and great citizens.
The month of February is evidently too short.
Twenty-eight...

Oh Lord, they laid George Floyd down
They put a knee to his neck 
and pinned him to the ground
for nine minutes they held him on the deck.

Bystanders saw and got involved
They said, what the fk, what the heck
He's not resisting, it's been resolved
Get that knee...

Colour Schemers

Arab Traders excavated
Europe laid the foundation
The New World framed it perfectly
The rest of the races roofed it

This …
Inordinate economic concupiscence
Shadowy sham, animated by a violent passion
An extraordinary alteration

So… 
Nature convulses
Human dignity reduced to 
Colour: Black, white, brown, yellow

But …
The scale corrects itself
The clock resets
The...
