Black Lives Matter
August 1965, Marquette Frye
In the hands of the police did die
Fifty five years later, can you tell me what has changed?
Fifty five years later, we’re still taking to the streets outraged
Fifty five years after Martin Luther king jnr, dared to dream
Fifty five years later, blood spilled, while dying men, cry for their mum, what does this mean
It means that history is on repeat.
It means, we have to protest on the streets
It means that, if it makes conversation difficult, and you stammer and you stutter
It means , what else...
