A sign boldly proclaims


Black Lives Matter


A jurist opines


Except when a black person murders another black person


How sad


A nine year old boy


Is gunned down


Never to see tomorrow


Or the tomorrows to come  


Never to realize his potential


We cry for him


The little girl


Three years old


Her life ended


By a thug


But for her family


Who cries for her


Two seniors are wounded


Will they survive

To see the treasures


Of their lives


Enough is enough


The community and the Religious


Must band together


To recreate the Black family unit

A husband and wife


With their children


All standing in a ring of fire


Children showered with love


As their parents watch them succeed


It is said that He is Risen


If that is true


Then all must extend their hand


To help those


Who need our help


Do not forget


All Lives Matter
