Nothing Changes

Mind racing a mile a minute

I can’t think

Can’t concentrate

I must clear my head

The world is burning

We go on like nothing is happening

We post, we share, some cry, we mourn

But nothing changes

And we do it all again tomorrow

Black lives, Cops lives, All lives

And nothing gets better

I fear it will only get worse

I see the division even amongst my friends

Some say I can’t be for Black lives, and also be for Cops lives

Why?

Being for one does not mean I am against the other

And I should not have to choose

I am at a loss

I fear for my family,

For myself,

For my friends,

and for my Country

Still we do nothing

There will be no change

Until we stop doing nothing
