Black lives matter
Not to say white lives don't,
Because they do.
But one thing I've learned,
Living in America is that we have to fight the people we were once told to trust.

LGBT+ lives matter
Not to say straight lives don't,
Because they do.
But one thing I've learned,
Living in America is that we have to protest to be treated like a basic human.

Immigrant lives matter
Not to say that American lives don't,
Because they do.
But one thing I've learned,
Living in America is that you can build a country on their backs and send them away in a time of need.

So yes all lives matter but in America now we have to make sure ALL IS ALL.
