What's the matter with this situation that we ALL find ourselves in, black, white, brown, & Asian.

The virus doesn't attack the tinge of our skin, nor is our complexion affected by it's poison.

Why should we make a color more important than others? So much so that streets are painted with bright yellow letters and mayor's are condoning the great sin of FAVOR.

Whether white, black or any other blood flows the same color when we gun down each other.

All humanity has been bound by slavery in one way or another, stepping over one another to what end and for what means?

it's not for our virtue, or our innocence in things, no it's mostly lying and manipulative thinking.

Stay focused on the MATTER that stands, how many more will die by OUR hands?

So focused on fairness and ignorant slurs, tell me who's lives truly matter here?

If we don't get it together we won't have to worry about our social security running out, or unemployment tapping out.

When our numbers deplete and most of us have taken leave, I wonder how how many left will give a **** about status,
