Nothing

We want change but do nothing,
We say things but do nothing,
We get hurt but do nothing ,
What does it take not to do nothing?
It must not be a lot considering all we do is watch traumatic things happen and continuously do nothing.
There's two kind of black people; The selfish and the selfless.
The selfish don't care about anybody but their selves, they help bring us down, they help kill us off,
so not only do we have the racist people against us but our black on black crimes are higher than all others,
The selfless they try teaching us our history so we don't forget the obstacles we face in life, they try spreading love and positivity , they even try to make a change.
If you asked me the selfish are blind and ignorant to the world we live in and should take key to the things the selfless are trying to do.
I mean how many innocent young black men have to die?
How many innocent young black girls have to be dragged out their chairs?
How many innocent young black girls have to be dragged by their hair?
Before we stop doing nothing ,
Stop fighting each other and change things for the better
