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
