Social Justice Problems Poem
Fed up
With being fed up
With the feds up
In your constitution
Man, hold up
I said hold up
Your arms in protest

No. [They don't
Wait.] They won't
[Oh. Right...]they're too colorblind
To see you
Don't shoot
Don't shoot till you see the whites...
Don't shoot if you see the whites in your eyes
You might not see color
But you can distinguish shades of gray areas
Staying alive is hard work [work]
Jody calls out
B-more,
Be more than the violent thug
Falling to your death in the hole/pit America's dug
Ferguson!
Wait

Fuck her, son
She don't matter
Our lives don't matter
But #AllLivesMatter looks good/better on a t-shirt (in print)
If all lives matter
How come they don't take yours too
When our lives cease to exist
In memoriam we become famous

Hashtags replace headstones
Look God we made it
