blacklivesmatter blackpower blm breonnataylor georgefloyd peace poem poetry protest tamirrice

A short poem about the monstrosities going on right now.   Black Lives Matter and we can not sit silent while Black Americans lose their lives at the hands of law enforcement. I can't do much now but voice my support for communities that have been oppressed for too long.

It's already hard being Black in America, but it's even tougher surviving America as a Black Vampire. N, who is a African vampire, has been on a long search finding the White police officer who killed his family and cut off half of his tongue when he was young. He believes that the cop is in Virginia; he goes on a grueling battle to find him. But he also ends up falling in love, meet other unique black vampires like him, find his true origin, and leads a revolution to end police brutality and racism. Black lives, Sierra Leonean lives, Nigerian lives, Lagos lives, Ghanaian lives, Egyptian lives, or any African lives will always matter! You matter! ❤️ Cover art made by: @Alabihoney Read this book on GoodNovel and AnyStories!
