All lives matter, believe that the fact alone is absolute,
of course all should protest if the statement is to bring its shape into view.
You shouldn't be condemn for simply having a broader view,
your ideas of neutrality, means that we also march the streets for you.
I can't see humans understanding of feeling superiority,
black ppl had to be told their criminals and are punished accordingly.
Black children have to be told their black, which includes everyone's scrutiny,
Seen with disgust most of the time for simply living and trying to be.
Wait!
I can't breathe! Has permanently scared and hollowed me,
I can't breathe! On this hot pavement all because another's knee,
I can't breathe! Do you not feel your soul begin to scream,
I can't breathe! We're taught that it's our history, that's filled with savegry.
Taught that I shouldn't accept the appearance of what others percieve of me,
imparted with a religion, historically used to manipulate us spiritually.
Could you even believe, the mind that dwells within you, I also within me. Some can't percieve the problem with boxing us all together and it's severity.
Honestly, the pendulum shifts further then the immediate scope,
those conscious and spiritually woke are forced to live next to those with insidious hopes.
We're made fun of, were told slavery gave us great physical strength, yet we're from a country where we run on a daily great lengths.
Can Ahmaud run here, this poor man ceased opportunity,
was the copper wire worth it, you will be dealt with accordingly.
A cold reminder of what a non-equal government deems as a solution,
We, physically capable, have been stolen from the land of man's path for evolution.
The black Marine college student died pridefully without a noise,
This movement is moving forward no not only for George Floyd.
Not just Tamir Rice the little boy with the toy, that someone decided to pull a gun on,
Not just for Kendrick Johnson or Breonna Taylor and no not just for Trayvon.
Not just for the good police, but for those who refuse, yes also for you,
Experience of certain conditions, reshapes ones psychological truth.
We, just one of the reminders of Americas greatest sin,
Told to repent as oppressors slowly commit genocide again.
Natively known as the original man, our true history isn't taught,
original religious paintings with black faces are stored in a Christian vault.
We, broken from our religion broken spiritually and mentally,
Broken from our reason and snipped at our ancestral tree.
Are we not poets, writers, mathematicians, artist and musicians.
Astronomers, engineers, physicians, soldiering our athleticism.
We thought of America as our home and to be proud, is what we're told,
How easy it must be to manipulate the scary dark-human, that's known for a heart of gold.
Labeling us all the same makes the masses the easiest to control,
no different from concentration camps, we slowly watch another Hitler unfold.
Don't preach your religion and claim to be Christian, when knowingly you pretend to treat us fair,
foolish of us to treat discrimination as passive and act as if unaware.
If we truly look underneath, we see most have a genuine concern,
we hardly steep to treacherous levels when karma periodically gives us a turn.
Broken and demonized, before we're violent we begin to cry,
Because reality is broken, tears from the innocent within, that's forced to die.
We still remain peaceful, but our children's reaction leaves allot stunned,
we the color of Earth with life kissed into us from the sun.
Force to be submissive, when present with your pride or your career you become a tool, petty ultimatums which are only an obstacle because of a narrow minded fool
Learned to stomach oppressors, while spiritually rejecting church, leaders and the school too,
We can never move forward as a nation, until our human appearance of black life, has value too.
