I stand with you
I'll hold your hand
I'll share my home
I'll share my land
For nothing is different
not in my eyes
wee see the hatred
we see the lies
you are not the problem
in this world so controlled
we are sick of this agenda
it's getting so old
your skin may be dark
and mine may be light
but it's not about
who's black and who's white
it's about us as people
standing as one
there is room enough on earth
for every man and his son
we all felt the anger
and started to seethe
"my neck hurts
my stomach hurts
I CANT BREATHE"
as a united family
we could all see
the world dragged back 100 years
"THEYRE GOING TO KILL ME"
end this now
racism must shatter
and scream it louder
black lives matter.

What's taken so long?
Very true, maybe this world isn’t as modern as we all thought after all ☹️
LOL I meant what took you so long to write / react?
I wasn’t aware there was a time limit? Surely we should be talking about this all the time not just when it’s a hot topic?
What took you so long then?
Again I wasn’t aware there was a specific time to talk about this? I think people can express opinions any time they please ...
LOL I'm teasing you.
Ok 😋
In all seriousness I grew up i a racist white home whilst seeing the injustices being brought to out UK tv screens over the civil rights movement of 1960's. Scorned by my family. But whilst getting these influences i was also being moved by black music. I made was my own mind up about right and wrong. MLK was martyrd for this cause and still it is just as wrong as before. Here in uk we have forced our police to be less racist.
I’m so glad for this I hope the world can one day remove racism from the conversation all together. I also grew up white and in the uk so maybe my words are meaningless but I just want more positive in the world than negative 😊
Why is this still happening in this day and age?
It should not be and it’s so sad that it is 🙁
I agree with earlier comment
All lives matter
I do admire you for braving this subject
Will look over some earlier writes from you soon
Well done
You are very right. All lives do matter and that will never change. I’m not usually this serious honestly but I felt it right at this moment to say something positive as best I could. Thank you 😊
