Black Lives Matter Variation #1
If black lives matter then how come we slaughter our own people.
If black lives....how come we are the ones that broadcast it on social media.
If black....so why do we protest but solve all our problems with a heater.
If.....we are united we can instill hope within our people.
....But yet we are enraged at the sight of all lives matter our minds are so feeble.
Forever our mind's and hearts remained shackled.
A mirror image of an orange jumpsuit seems like a suitable future.
As long as we are divided thing's like racism and self hate cannot be tackled.
And every day our numbers become fewer.
If black lives matter only when a Caucasian cop kills us.
Then why when our Queen's little Princess screams out where is King.
And she is unable to answer with her face riddled with tears.
A story of unsung begins to sing.
She speaks out but immediately she is labeled...broken...she just making a fuss.
Black Lives Matter everyday not when we deem it so.......
