All Lives Matter
How am I
To live a meaningful life
In a world full of misery
Inhumanity and strife
To dodge all the pitfalls
That lead us all to sin
Knowing good and well
It’s a battle we’ll never win
How am I
To be able to cope
In a society full racism
And a world who’s lost hope
To be reassured of a future
Where mankind still has a place
On this planet we have treated
With devastation and disgrace
Will my children be left
With a planet beyond repair
A wasteland of religious hatred
Do we even really care?
How do “WE”
As a species expect to survive
If we all continue in the mindset
That only “MY” race and religion
Deserve to be alive.
