Black Lives Matter

Black Lives Matter

Black Lives Matter
Is a reminder
Black Lives Matter
Is not black primer

Black Lives Matter
Needs to be said
With all the black boys
Ending up dead

Black Lives Matter
Yes...so do you
But blacks girls go missing.
Without all the News 

Black Lives Matter
Is their weighing in
If all lives mattered 
It needn't be said

Very thought provoking and powerful. 
Yes, "Black Lives" do matter. They all do. 

Favorite Stanza: (Gave me goosebumps!) 

Black Lives Matter
Needs to be said
With all the black boys
Ending up dead

The last line is the most powerful of all: 

Ending up dead 

That says it all and is why more creative writers should commit to writing about the growing epidemic that has been going on for as long as the United States became a country.
