Black Lives Matter?

DannyAndy4 Poems

Announcing all lives matter is audacious & abusive & antagonistic & antiprogressive - yet amazingly it’s always anticipated. But when signs & songs & screams & shouts of our sisters with skin of a separate shade are shot down & softened & silenced, and when the bodies of our brothers brandishing blackness with bravado are broken & beaten & burned & buried by people with perceived power prescribing punishment by punching & pushing & pulling triggers- Well One thing remains perfectly clear Declaring “all lives matter” is rooted in fear If all lives mattered, then we wouldn’t be here and “all lives matter” wouldn’t be said with a sneer Black lives don’t matter Mattering means more than media manipulating messages mainly for monetary magnitude or validating various vocations as veracious while these villains vie for votes vainly vanquishing value from humans whose hearts are heavy with hurt and having to beg to be heard. Mattering means more than making memes and multimedia messages post mortem when morally bankrupt men ****** men and their mates for their midnight complexion So don’t tell me black lives matter Black lives don’t matter Black lives should matter Black lives must matter
