BLM

POEM

By K. ExumPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

BLM:

BLM painted on streets

But justice is what we want to see

We know what it is systematic racism

Campaign bullying like the black race hasn’t been bullied since the beginning of our existence

Kidnapped from our families

Beaten into servants

If we run they’ll cut off our ligaments

Even resort to cutting off our penis

We were beaten, even raped

A lot more but those have been cut out of our history books

Only learned about slave masters

And their actions

Still see them all over America

Police lined up to protect their statues

But no one there to protect the blacks

No point in even talking they don’t care

Chant all lives matter while we get slaughtered

Beaten and Battered

Still, my fists in the air cause I believe we matter

You chant all lives matter while we continue to get strangled

Like that’s going to help Elijah

Another young King flying Higher

Last year and now we just learning more

How many more to be exposed?

How many more to die at the hands of our so-called protectors?

R.I.P To all the victims, you’ll always be missed
