Angie Thomas said,
“People like us in situations like this become hashtags,
But they rarely get justice.”
We are different.
Yeah, that may be true,
But let us review
What we have gone through.
Every other day
I see on the news display
How a black got beaten
Or may have passed away.
I find it funny
How others thinks it’s okay
Now tell me, if it was you
You would make a case.
Not too long ago,
It happened again
Someone was murdered
Because of their melanin.
Everyone is praying for this to end
But here we are with another trend.
A death is starting a movement,
Since there is a lot of room left for improvement.
So here's our recruitment
If you're willing to choose it.
It is Unity,
To change our communities.
For those with different identities,
This is your opportunity.
“Don’t you ever forget that being black is an honor,
Because we come from greatness”
And that is a true statement.
