Black Lives Matter Flew a Flag Today …
…
From a flagpole outside a school
in Vermont USA a Black Lives Matter
banner waved gently in the breeze
and Facebook could not take it,
believe me …
…
There were comparisons to the KKK
which of course is so utterly horrendous
in so many ways you have to wonder
if some folks just have never read a book
or what happened in History Class,
…
there was talk of White History Month,
and well Black Folks had slaves too
so calm on down & what about the
murdered cops & the riots & the chants
some have thrown out there for Fox
to pick up on & replay & replay & replay,
…
there was talk of All Lives Matter & besides
why don’t you educate your own Black Folks
& what about Chicago & Detroit oh yeah
what about that then hey?
…
there was the word Terrorist thrown around
with easy abandon & White Lives Matter
& clever boys in the comfort of their homes
had to chime in with Obama memes,
& Ferguson riot memes
& Black Lives Don’t Matter
& Black Ice Matters,
…
& some attempted history rewrites & snide digs
& insults & just plain outright pure
unadulterated White Lightning
Racism,
…
& I really suggest dear reader,
that a visit to a Facebook thread
where America chimes in with
its two cents,
is a deeply dark & depressing place.
…
Mr. Eric Garner was choked to death,
as he stood outside a store,
selling loose cigarettes …
we should remember that.
