The Truth About Life

If I could give you a motivational speech, it would say this

Dear white men and women

I pray that you hear my voice

The voice of a broken heart, echoes of a torn spirit

Heartbroken soul

Theories that the world is slowly falling apart

We’re surviving the storm that nobody sees

The storm of racial inequality

Hurricanes of brutality and elimination

Thunderous rains of discrimination

The fact of the matter that I don’t know if anyone even cares about me

No one wants to defend me

My skin IS Black

Yes, it’s an undeniable fact

There’s nothing you can do about that.

If I could truly give you the words to say

Will it cause you to see things my way?

Will I live to see another day?

All because there are those of you who disagree with our melanin

All because we don’t look like you nor act like you

Do you see what I see?

No one wanting to let me be

All because our skin tones don’t match up evenly

Tired of the abuse and harassment

Done with the ridicule

There’s no need to look at us as the intimidation

We’re not giving up that easily

We’re not waving the white flag of defeat

Let me tell you about this thing called life

It’s as easy and/or hard as you allow

All about how you execute the very thing that sets you apart

You see, life is the form of existence that distinguish

Abilities to step out of statistic shadows

Removing the weight of not having the finesse

Escaping the desert of depression

Ready to receive the blessings from defeating the battle of oppression

If I could give you words of inspiration, I’d must inform you

Value life’s atmosphere, exploring sunrises and sunsets of happiness and peace

We are tired of going through racial injustice, having to go through false accusations and senseless abuse. We are tired of being the main race that deals with this. Done with law enforcement and foolish racist white people eliminating our people for no reason!

WE MATTER

OUR LIVES MATTER

OUR VOICES MATTER

EVERYTHING ABOUT US MATTERS
