BLACK LIVES MATTER

Black lives matter

That was the message of the great Martin Luther
Black and white, 

The sides in conflict
Why are we judged by the color we’re born with?

Cops arresting, beating and shooting
Innocent blacks dead because of the killings
They stand on the sidewalks idly watching
News on the radio but no one’s listening

Oppressed from the start
Segregated and kept apart
Being black makes us criminals
No less than the rest 

But we’re treated like animals

Yet we keep on rising
Can’t be beat, we keep on marching
They have arms to shoot us dead
We have faith and hope instead
Boldly written for all to read
I AM MADE OF BLACK AND THAT'S MY CREED!
