We are meant to love others

Yet this world follows its same patterns

Discriminating against those who should be like brothers

Regressing us to a time before lanterns

Problems arise when there's a lack of acknowledgment

It seems that we never learn from the past

We ignore the struggles of others, making us tolerant

And that is why inequality continues to last and last

Now there is rioting in our streets 

Shouts of "Black Lives Matter!" directed towards

Men and women in charge of protecting each of our heart beats

It's grieving that there's a need to cry out these words

The hope in all this is that it doesn't have to be this way 

Lay down your hateful thoughts & words & have something positive to say
