Poetry – Black Lives Matter

Black Lives Matter

The same thing

Time after time

Injustice and violence

‘Dominate the jerks’

Says Trump.

One rule for you

And one rule for me

Complete lack

Of empathy

From the chump.

Life is cheap

If you are black

In America.

Where’s the leadership?

Where’s the compassion?

Where’s the country’s Cazar?

Hiding away in his bunker

With the lights out

Tweeting threats!

Devoid of answers.

Devoid of humanity.

Displaying no regrets!!

How long does it take for a people to gain justice?

How many years?

Civil rights is not a gift to bestow; it is a right.

Human beings are all one species.

It is time we started to judge people by their character and not their colour.

Long overdue!!

Black lives matter.

How can that be controversial?

In a world

Where blacks are shot for being black

There is no level playing field.

Until we achieve true equality

It is tribal warfare.

But we should be fighting for progress.

No split: no wedge.

Poor whites too

Require equality.

It is better that we are together,

Fighting the same battles

Against the exploiters.

Opher – 28.10.2020

Racism is a handy tool in the toolbox of inequality.

By keeping us all diverted onto religion and racism they can continue their practice of exploiting us all.

By creating fake political divisions (and orchestrating both sides) they can divert us from what is really going on.

What is really going on is that the wealthy are manipulating us so that they can cream off the world’s wealth while giving us as little as they can get away with.

They like war, pandemics, racism and political division.

Ask not who is in control.
