Deadly streets

Black Lives Matter

By Anime QueenPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

It’s good to be alive

Some days it’s good, some days it’s bad

But the world ain’t justified

Dont you see that gods Mad

..........

We’ve been burying the dead,

For as long as I can remember

Ain’t seen so much red

This world is a fake pretender

.........

Yet, I still say this is a good life

Just a colored child afraid of the streets

Numb to all the strife,

And the fatal defeats

.......

They think they have it made

Still believe we are wrapped in some chains

But once we break from this cage

They’ll be the ones in some pain
