People being killed everyday
I am still alive, just being buried in my own lies
A scary, bloody murder scene
This isn't a dream, it's the sick tragedy of this world

I am still alive, just being buried in my own lies
Families going through hell at the moment
This isn't a dream, it's the sick tragedy of this world
Black lives matter? Wrong all lives matter

Families going through hell at the moment
The breath taking moment of your love one being buried 6ft under
Black lives matter? Wrong all lives matter
Its sad because it's not what Martin died for

The breath taking moment of your love one being buried 6ft under
Open your eyes and realize with the real eyes on your face that this isn't a game
Its sad because it's not what Martin died for
Black lives matter? Wrong all lives matter

Open your eyes and realize with the real eyes on your face that this isn't a game
I can make a change, you can make a change, let's make change
This population is slowly decreasing instead of increasing
These teardrops will forever stay falling for our deceased love ones

I was inspired to write this poem becauseof life. The race issues but most importantly the increase of death lately.
