"We are hurting 

Every day facing the risk of having to take in another death of our people.   

Don’t tell me to stop talking about it, 

Don’t tell me that all lives matter,

Do not tell me that the world is wicked.

Because it is not the world that makes life wicked, but the people in it.

You say the world is changing, but we were just thrown a ladder with no steps. 

have we not always been the target?

You told us our skin was too dark. 

Our lips were too full,

Too wide.

Our bums were too big,

Too round.

You told us we weren’t good enough to get the best jobs, 

best careers.

In fact, you taught us that.

So yes, we are hurting.

How many times do we have to do this? Running in circles with heavy hearts and dry eyes. How many times?

WHEN will we get our justice?

For now, we will fight for our people, keeping the community in prayers and asking God for peace.

You wonder,

You wonder The reason why we always rise when our faces are pushed to the dirt,

It's because we have something special in our blood,

​

Something indescribable,

deep, 

​

rich, 

​

pure.

​

It will never die. 

We are hurting, but we are still rising."
