black lives matter

What has this world come to? I know I'm not the only one who seen it . how can we expect the world to grow if we have become an addiction of being defeated? like we don't have no morals, like we don't have no brain, like we don't have any meaning. Everybody's shooting so now all we see is hashtags that's not even needed . Cause its not going to bring them back.. you should have thought about that hashtag before you pulled that trigger back. Like #dontshoot , #dontkill #letsstoptheviolence and let's get the sick to heal . cause  the only thing we have left is pain and memories , got the next person asking "when I die will you remember me?" Cause there's no telling who's next , and yeah you was just with them two mins ago , but , now , time has no control like ,"oh, they just died of age ", because the rage we have now today is on the clock and there is  no promises that you won't be the next one.. 6 feet under, I wish we could put this mess behind us and throw  it in the dumpster and never recycle that trash. I wish that  Travon and Sandra wasn't  gone in such a flash, and you said #alllivesmatter but forgot to think about us, you said #alllivesmatter but this young BLACK man will never get to put his daughter on the bus, you said #alllivesmatter but didn't think twice about the kid, he had skittles and tea but he was black so in your mind all you seen in his hand was crime after crime , and he had a black hoodie so I guess that made you feel worse , until you understand that #black lives is what matters don't ever scream out the words that ALL LIVES MATTER ! Because the truth of the matter is , is that us black folk too want to live , and want to be there for there families, and want to be there for there friends, we might not eat at the dinner table as a whole , we might not speak how y'all speak,  but one thing I do know is that we have the right to live. So yeah of course ALL of us matter and ALL of us should . but , until ALL of us , learn that we are a unit them hashtags will never disappear. #blacklivesmatter and that's all that there really is. So when I say #BlackLivesMatter don't be mad or in misery, cause I'm sure it was the black history that gave us some of this victory . I'm sure it was Martin and I'm sure it was The black activist that would have never wished upon this , and if all them was here they would tell you the same thing , that ITS BLACK LIVES that matter , and that wil
