Black lives Matter


Do black lives matter ? 
Do they or is it just a hashtag
Do black lives matter?
What about black kings and queens left for dead
What about black kings and queens that we bypass that haven't been fed
Should I be afraid to wear a hoodie like Trayvon Arizona ice tea in town

It frightens me just the thought of a generation that will never know that will never know how long we've come how long we faught to preserve our history that will never be taught 

See black history month is the shortest month of them all but the focus isn't on us as a whole it's about the wall
So go ahead and tell me once more do black live really matter
If so please explain to me what happen to Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Makiya Wilson, Karon Brown 

You say black lives matter I say you never have a clue
