Life Matters

“Hands up, don't shoot!”
One of the many things I wish I could mute.
It's one of the many chants the “black lives matter” movement knows.
But there's evidence that's here to appose.
This phrase came from the shooting of 18 year old Michael Brown.
The racial riots started due to a white officer bringing an unarmed African American man down.
People said that the officer shot him even though his hands were up.
But eyewitness said that there was a lockup.
Instead of Brown having his hands up, his hands were reaching for the officer's gun inside the car.
So how did this phrase reach near and far.
A movement called “Black lives matter” arose.
We look back now and see how big they rose.
Their protest started off peaceful, but then turned for the worse.
The protests started to become a curse.
Activists would stop freeways by holding hands but why?
We understand and hear that there is an outcry.
But you say that you wish to punish and or even kill those that punished and killed you 400 years ago.
By stopping freeways and roads you're asking to get hit and run over though.
You're promoting the killing of whites and what's that teaching your children?
That whites are the number one villain?
If we wish to be the United States of America then we must act and be United
If we want this problem to continue and let our enemies destroy us then we will stay divided.
Lines are being drawn and people are picking sides.
What does this remind you of in your eyes?
In Columbia, Missouri a vigil was held for the victims of Orlando.
Then a girl got up and said something that was like dropping a piano.
She was part of the “BLM” movement and came to talk at a vigil for the shootings in Orlando.
She turned the vigil from the victims to their own movement.
I understand that your meetings don't come together, but this isn't the place the do it.
How about instead of Black Lives Matter or Blue Lives Matter, we change it to Life Matters.
Not one life is more important than another's.
A whites is not more important than a blacks and a blacks is not more important that a whites.
So how about we take a look back at those unalienable rights.
“They are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Let us let go of all of this hatred and angriness.
Move forward with a different view.
A view of the United States of America, United as one.
Life Matters.
