You may attempt to silence our voices
and break us down with your inhumane
regulations, your crazy contemplation's,
your machine guns and teargas, but we
will never back down from you.  We are
a powerful black race that can’t be stopped.
We will always march down the endless
streets preaching for freedom, shouting out
“Black Lives Matter” and “No Justice, No Peace.”
We will light up the night with our blazing
fire shining bright in our souls, protesting
against the biased laws of society, exercising
our rights as we hold our signs high in the air,
standing tall and strong, our hearts in harmony,
fighting for the cause.  We will always stand
for all the ones whose lives were taken too soon,
stripped away by malevolent police officers
and court systems.
