Peace
A peaceful world
That’s all I want
That’s all I see
No more killing
No more fights
Enough is enough
We need to try
To do better
To be better
And to love one another
World peace is all I want.
Black Lives Matter
Our lives matter
Because we are all the same
It shouldn’t matter
If we come from the South or North
All that matters
Is our personality and what we can do
It shouldn’t matter
If we pay for food with an EBT card
Or a black card
We are all still eating the same food
It shouldn’t matter that
I have long, black dreads
I am not a criminal
You look at my appearance and
Already think you know
My whole life story
Well, news flash, you don’t
Just like you, we have dreams, too
Like becoming a doctor
Or the President of the United States
We are important and we will fight
For our rights
Our skin color doesn’t define us
We do.
