By The Prophet of Life
When we say
Black Lives Matter
We are not saying that ONLY black lives matter
We do understand that All Lives Matter
And we are not negating that fact
When we say Black Lives Matter
We are issuing a call for JUSTICE
We are issuing a plea to stop the murder of our children
Who, as members of the human family represent all of our children
And we wonder why we must call for justice
If we live in a Just Society
We wonder why there should even be a reason for us to call for justice
If we live in a Just Society
And we wonder why the blood of our children runs in the streets
Beneath the tainted shadow of racism
So next time you hear someone say
Black Lives Matter
Know that it is a call for justice
And think about
Why we need to call for justice
If we do, in fact,
Live in a Just Society
