Black lifes matter

This is not against the men in blue,

But to support the men of black.

The ones who have to double check,

And always watch their backs.

The ones who raise a brownskin child,

With a gun that's just a toy.

I speak for the ones who have no voice.

They killed that poor black boy.

A loving husband to his wife goes to walmart for a meal.

A shiny BB gun catches his eye and the whole store goes still.

A call made to dispatch "a black man is waving a gun."

They killed that loving father, leaving him with no chance to run.

Everyone of a different race bleeds the same red,

The government pays no attention to a black man who's dead.
