Best Blm Poems

So black lives matter now we say
their worth now seen anew
While ages past we saw the day
we recognized so few.

But white lives matter too they said
and brown and yellow too
Yet centuries of hidden bled 
‘neith toes of masters’ shoes

Enslavement built our country strong
in goods and...

Black Lives Matter is a statement of love not statement of hate 
So, please erase the confusion from your face
But they can't hear because they're too busy spraying mace in my face
They keep yelling: s who needs them, nigga please, black boy black girl you...

Walk with me,

Don't...SHOOT, 
cuz I don't wanna die young, 
I wanna grow old and have 
a daughter or a son, or maybe both, 
to live a full life is my hope,
but the bullets in your gun 
are a noose around my throat.

Don't....SHOOT,
I promise you I...

Isn't it funny that we think in colour but, 
When it's racial we ’don’t see colour’ and, 
When it suits you, you ’don’t see colour’ but,
When we need a job you can see colour? 

It's very funny that this world is colourful.
What would happen if...

We hold these truths to be self evident that all humans are not created equal,
Some have been created with more 
while some have been created with less
Some are rewarded in life while some are barred from success,
We hold these truths to be self evident that...

MY HEART SINKS, MY EYES WEEP
MY BRAIN EXPLODES, I CAN’T SLEEP

I DON’T UNDERSTAND, I NEVER WILL
A SWEET CHILD WHY DO THE COPS KILL?

CHILDREN WITH CHOCOLATE COLOURED SKIN
HARDLY ALLOWED LET THEIR LIVES BEGIN

INNOCENT UNARMED SIXTEEN AND UNDER
SOMETIMES COPS CALL IT A BLUNDER

JUST A MISTAKE THEY ARE...

If I can't breathe, I cannot speak
My brothers, come - Repeal my word!
Though some would kneel to keep me meek, 
I gave my life, so you'd be heard

I doubt the script you hand me but
if I can't breathe, I cannot speak,
or stand outside the doors...

Do not speak to me of freedoms lost
Until you have watched
A mother drop to her knees
And scream so loud
it comes out silent 
And it is deafening 
Because even though there is no breath 
Left in her to carry the sound 
Everything decibel of her grief...

The moment the clip rolled—-
cold rain of adrenaline hassled
down my spine and narrow nerves.
In Gorge Floyd I froze—compressed,
suppressed into miniature casket—-
“I can’t breathe”—the resonance of this
mighty fight of tints and taints against
the ground, as a knee slices through
my throat—he kneels, in order of State
Sacrifice—one more...

Inauguration 

I witnessed the brightest star born into a firmament of hope and love. Writing and speaking truth from above. A new future for her country and the children who aspire to extinguish the destructive fire of deceiver and liar. So now bow to the...

If you find my lifeless body hanging from a tree,
Know that I have too much to live for,
I am not a fruit that easily grows on trees,
Yet too many trees have fruit that looks like me,
and too many Mamas sobbing hard on their knees,
Knowing that...

There are times for peace and times for war
When your conscience comes knocking at your door
And you know your Creator is asking for more..
And that's ok.

From our comfortable places we rise and stand
When our neighbours, down trodden, require a hand
When that line needs re-drawing in...

Good morning
Hood morning
Never a good morning in the hood but let's discuss the mourning.
Im talking tear shed cross on a sidestreet, oh he knows
Black boy knows
Black boy morns
Black boy says good morning to his mommy before he leaves for school
Black boy walks, walking dead
Black boy...
