There is a war going on,
And it's very clear,
People are angry,
Tired of living in fear.
It really hurts,
All this trouble.
A soul was lost.
People sparked up.
It has been going on for years and years,
And finally people have come to voice out the fears.
How would someone with a heart, a soul and a mind,
Be so very cruel and hugely blind.
This isn't fair,
And neither is life.
But that doesn't mean we should kill and fight.
I agree with the protest,
I am a black too,
And seeing all this makes me proud of where we have come.
But still,
Two wrongs don't make a right,
We can protest,
But must we fight?
The more we hit, the more we set aflame, the more we loot and destroy innocent domains.
It won't bring back his life,
It will only prove them right
It may seem like we are standing firm,
But we are only doing what we are standing against.
We say Black Lives Matter,
Which I strongly agree,
But all lives matter,
Including the police.
We beat them and hit them and kick them away,
Only proving to them that we are stray.
You can't fight fire with fire,
And that is what we are attempting to do.
There's a more peaceful way,
If we just take a look.
Protest and stay strong,
But we don't have to add violence,
We have to crawl before we begin to run,
And remeber, the thing with a little battle,
Is that it can quickly turn into a war.
