The many suicides of black men

The many suicides of black men

Black men deserve love too
Even if its just a simple 'I love you'

The world tells them they have to be tough
But enough is enough 

If you're complicit
In being a witness
Of their mental health issues
Don't be confused
If they choose suicide 
Don't be surprised 
I mean you didn't care when they were alive
So dont you dare cry

How many times are we going to let this happen?
How many times will we as a society ignore  them?

Because our black men deserve better
They deserved to be treasured
Because if we don't we'll lose them forever 
As a society we can let them suffer
But we can be their protectors
