You say it’s not the same
Your love
And our love
But why?
Why can’t it be the same?
You like who you like,
And we like who we like.
If we aren’t bothering you,
Then why bother?
they come from far away
leaving behind everything they know
hoping everything will be okay
some packing nothing but a photo
Black lives matter.
Asian lives matter.
Hispanic lives matter.
Native American lives matter.
White lives matter.
Blue lives matter.
In fact, all lives matter.
What does it mean to be a black man in love?
Does his fist uncoil for the hand he dreams of or does his chilled heart melt away because of the fire within her eyes?
I’m an American,
through and through,
but an American with a hyphen too.
An ode to my culture, customs,
and ethnic ties,
yet critics say my hyphen divides,
causes racial tension,
Walk for all I know
he'll trip me
shows it's heart in all emotions
love them
It'll lynch you,shoot you.
"Don't talk to him,look at him and look at you ."
Fight for him ,leave your cares
A country of immigrants’ children
Living on a graveyard of natives
All men are created equal
Forget that if you’re not a man
Oh, say, can you see,
blinded by the tear gas
By the dawn's early light,
shining through our body bags as we lay on the street, hitting our 3 hour mark
What so proudly we hailed
The world keeps getting colder,We keep getting older,Living like lambs to the slaughter,There’s so much hatred,There’s no more blessed water,Living another day,Working our life away,What I can say?
As children we are taught monsters aren't real
But if they don't exist explain the fear I feel
When I walk down the hallway or sit in the park
I'm not afriad of the monsters in the dark
It all started with a blur
Who am I and what do I want?
Nothing makes sense, that’s for sure
They call me names
They spit on me
They glare in disgust
They say I am nothing
But aren't I something
I am a surface
That can be spat upon
Something they can see
And choose to hate
Never slander the beliefs of another
Open your mind to the wonders of your brother.
Fight for the revolution
Reaching to the minds of everyone claiming to be human.
Equality for every muzzled mortal
