All Black lives CAN'T matter until ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER.

"The revolution will be live and direct."
They want our rhythm
But not our blues
They LOVE our culture
To benefit and take from our entertainment, art, music, fashion, film, sports, technology
Our inventions
But HATE the colour of our skin
Black and Brown people
Our beauty
Our individual beings
Hate to support our issues and struggles
Our humanity
Our existence
Whilst demanding equality
That “all lives matter” and they “don’t see no colour”
And remaining silent during our injustices with their white privileges
STILL we are seen as LESS than
As unprofessional
As animals in the jungle
As criminals “armed” in crime
As violent
As angry
As a threat
They can’t stand our impact
Us occupying space
Our excellence
Our radiance
Our resilience
But we won’t let up
Not this time
The revolution will be live and direct
— d.o.
