#BlackLivesMatter


The hashtag matters more than the lives it highlights
But the fact that black lives matter
Shouldn't be the real matter at times
Because black hardly matters to black lives

Let's say black lies for the sake of our black lives
Because a white lie won't save us
But if they seek for someone to blame
A black life will always matter to be blackmailed

It's hardly a case of equality for we are all the same
But to be fair not all equity is shared
If you should flip the script and be an outcast
You'll see how fast you are classed as the black sheep
Never a white lamb...nor the black man with white deeds

If you somehow make the list
Pray to God it's not black
For it is a fact
That men who get blacklisted never get back
Because even though we are mere men in black and black suits our skin
To them we are black-hearted men with a black box within
