Black Lives Matter


brother vs brother

dying in the street

a white man shot a black man

forever alseep

outrage begins

a few cops die

death answered with death 

you can't say it'll be alright

black mothers fearful

kiss their child's head

discriminatory people looking for blood and dread

white mothers fearful

kiss their child's head

revenge seeking peopke looking for blood and dread

all lives matter

refuse to admit persecution

old graves dug up with new execution

violence with violence won't solve any problems

new ammunition but same peoples dramas

each side is hurt just in diffrent ways

nobody will listen, at least not today

people are afraid of the look of another

silenced to death like so many others

the american people must stand as one

in a world full of hate, in a nation so great

you'd think we could learn to love one another

so stand up bleacks, stand up whites

grasp ypur neighbor by the hand, it's time to fight

fight for love, fight for peace

fight so our children can safley fall asleep

stand not divided by irrational hate

embrace the love before its too late

One nation, under God,

with liberty and justice for all
