Readers it goes without saying that black lives matter. Every live matters but as the world erupts in violence both in the streets and online, the violence hurts my soul. Readers statistics are being taken off-line only one view point is allowed.
Which Lives Matter?
Black lives matter,
It goes without saying
Black lives matter
You don’t feel our pain
Of course your lives matter
I understand pain
My friends are dead
No it’s not the same
Black lives matter
You’ve got to understand
Blacks are being killed
Kicked up and down the land
I hear what your saying
Bruises, brutality, demands
The ones in uniform some hate
Hate blacks only blacks
Black lives MATTER!!!
Julie’s face creeps in past the hate
Her smile, her laugh
Neglect the coronor said
Tears I choke back
Of course I understand
All lives matter
NO NO NO!!!!
It’s black lives that matter
Nothing less will do
Of course your lives matter
Our lives matter to
Come on let’s stop fighting
I feel the pain like you
My race did you such wrong
How much apologising
Can a slave like me do?
The faces of too many others
Force their way into my view
Past the violence on the screen
Past the violence old and new
Of course all lives matter
As more die out of sight
Nursery rhymes filled with blood
Remind me of your plight
My stomach churns to vomit
Tears stream down my face
My ancestors got rich on blood
Sealed the whole world’s fate
Then drifting from my childhoods cot
A voice of reason calls
Two wrongs don’t make a right
Violence never works
Violence death and looting
The voice of the preacher stalls
As above their head
A tear splashes down
From a tortured death long ago
WAKE UP
Black lives matter!
Feel the pain we’ve endured
I feel your pain and mine and guilt
Given by hatred in days of yore
Why can’t all lives matter?
No one’s doubting your pain
But surely if your life is worth more than mine
The cycle starts again
Let’s look at the bigger picture
It’s racial profiling true?
We all get profiled fingered by hate
Why don’t we try something new?
It’s not a competition
I’m not going to even try
Let’s walk away from hatred
With peace look in each other’s eyes
Let’s turn our backs on violence
Let’s turn our backs on hate
Let’s turn our backs on races
Let’s choose a different fate
A world without any masters
There is no master race
Not black not blue not coloured
Not white not pink no race
Let’s see past our skin tones
Let’s be the human race
Our bloods are mixed already
Let’s make earth a peaceful place
Cause if your more important than me
The cycle starts once more
Death violence gore
Slave ships of days before
All lives have to matter
This fact is plain to see
Cause if you matter more than others
We will never end slavery.
Violence breeds violence
Some know some of the hate I endure. I share some of my injuries on my social media. Search Billie Human Facebook Instagram Twitter. However I hope you also recognise that I do my best not to respond with hate to hate. It’s extremely hard please forgive me for the times I fail.
Two Wrongs NEVER make Good
Quite frankly I’m scared at the self righteous hatred we seem to be forced to be part of. Readers do your hearts feel the same as mine?
Do you feel the jarring discord of knowing 100% that black lives matter, and the knowledge that every life matters cowering in the corner in fear of the hate driven violence expressed at anyone who dares to suggest that all lives matter?
We all know how the streets of the United States of America now resemble a war zone the media forces this down our throats. But there’s a small voice inside me that says can I really be sure I’ve got the full picture?
Readers please make up your own minds about this but remember the camera does lie. All I ask is put race aside and peacefully accept none of us know the truth. The big warning flag in my book is the way we are being forced to believe one view point only.
Please Pray With Me
Lord bring peace to the World, bring peace to our streets. Save us from the fires of hell. Bring mercy to those most in need and healing and safe haven to all until we reach our eternal home.
