Black lives matter verses All lives matter

Black Lives Matter vs All Lives Matter

 

Is there really a need for political action

Hoping that it will put an end to all the negative reactions

While waiting for the ink to dry

How many more "innocent lives/souls" must die

 

Now that there's awareness to a global problem

Repeatedly lessons taught now seems with no gain of knowledge nor use of  wisdom

Humming crying gone too soon 

Yet recurrence of shooting seen in the news before noon

 

How does one define purpose in the ideology of one life matters over others

If only focusing on recent circumstances then clearly black lives matter

Irrefutable the scales of justice do not seem bothered 

Other than when death calls on the uniforms of familiar colors

 

Fear now being seen all over the nation

Man fearing man woe what a demonic distraction

Human beings pointing fingers at each other

Gatherings of both political and religious leaders blind to what really matters

 

Only moments of heart felt concern due to lives being lost

Not often at all has anyone turned to God

The one who gives life

The one who holds the answers to all this strife 

 

Heavenly Father forgive us for we know not...
