#BLM
by Amy Montoya first thing's first rest in peace to all my young black folks out there trynna make a living but constantly having to LIVE in fear that one day they will be added to the list. the list of hundreds and hundreds of teens dying because of the color of their SKIN. the gunshots loud enough to scare off a whole city of adolescents. the gun shouts loud enough to make our bodies shiver. the gunshots loud enough to scare our careers our dreams out of us. the gunshots that will always be heard unless something is done. until justice really is for all. i pledge allegiance to the government that won’t let my innocent brother, cousin, father, uncle, go. won’t let them free. they did not mean to do any harm. the color of their skin is not a sin. it is not illegal for them to be them. did y’all hear me in the back-- i said it is NOT illegal for them to be them. how many more people need to die--? how many more hashtags need to be made for there to be a change--? white policemen are murdering our future generation. our future doctors, mechanics, technicians, fathers, lawyers. are you gonna stand up to your policemen? or are you just gonna sit there and watch?
