We Tend To Forget.

Mama never thought she was naming a hashtag,

Naming a victim,

Naming another cause for the march ,

She never thought she was naming a headline,

Naming a subject of a CNN discussion,

Mama never thought she was naming another name to the list,

Mama took her time to create,

A name to be place upon a Queen,

Not a name all over the news,

Another grave for black youth,

It’s a shame,

Things we must remember,

Pain isn’t just in our black men,

But also within our women,

Mama we know this wasn’t the she deserved,

I share your pain through these words.

Numbers Lie?…

If your argument is more whites are killed by police than blacks, I advise the white community to bring these situations to the light. To me that number means nothing, as humans we tend to know what we see and what we experience. You want us to believe you face the same issues we do? Show us and we’ll gladly fight for justice with you. White & Black hand in hand fighting for our rights. See when a black man is murdered by police we don’t see much frustration from the white community. We don’t see a white community that’s tired of the same issue. We see (not all) but plenty of the white community stand behind the police. When your emotions match the numbers maybe then that statistic may mean something … Until then #blacklivesmatter.
